Aesthetics in the play of light and space
Junichiro Tanizaki’s essay ranges across architecture, jade, food, and domestic spaces to consider aesthetic experience in everyday objects and surroundings. Its attention to how space is used extends from buildings to lacquerware seen by candlelight and rooms kept in darkness. The subjects move between material culture and the arrangement of interiors, giving the essay a broad view of aesthetics rooted in particular objects and settings.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in Japanese aesthetics and essays on visual culture
