19.99 €
Professor Seigo Matsuoka of the University of Tokyo, who has dedicated his academic career to studying Japanese culture, offers a profound understanding of how the people of the Land of the Rising Sun see the world. In 16 lectures, he introduces us to the distinctive worldviews of the people, historical events, word etymology, and musical and culinary preferences, helping us understand why the Japanese are who they are.
This is the first edition of the professor's works in Russian. Japanologist Tatyana Naumova served as the academic editor, providing an explanation of each Japanese word's true meaning, immersing us in the cultural context and not leaving us alone with information we may not yet be fully familiar with. The illustrations accompanying the lectures add particular value to the publication, clearly demonstrating how Japanese clothing style and aesthetic taste developed, and where the Japanese are heading as a nation today.
This book will be useful for both those just beginning to delve into Japanese culture and those who have already read extensively about it. Seigo Matsuoka conveys information accurately and carefully, without distortions or simplifications, but with the clarity that only an experienced teacher can provide.
