Evanescence and Form: An Introduction to Japanese Culture

Evanescence and Form: An Introduction to Japanese Culture

by Charles Shiro Inouye (Author)

Synopsis

This book explores the Japanese notion of hakanasa - the evanescence of all things. Responses to this idea have been various and even contradictory: asceticism, fatalism, conformism, hedonism, materialism, and careerism. This book examines the ties between an epistemology of constant change and Japan's formal emphasis on etiquette and visuality.
