A country of incredible modernity and technical excellence, Japan has another, older, more discreet side that it has inherited from its history as well as from the culture, customs, beliefs, know-how, and art of living that have developed there over time. This is what this Illustrated Guide to Traditional Lappish reveals. This volume is composed of two parts. The first is devoted to architecture, in particular to houses, tea pavilions (chashitsu), gardens, public and open-air baths, Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, and other castles of the Archipelago.
The second provides an overview of the objects and materials traditionally used by the Japanese as furniture, for lighting, heating, gift-giving, practicing the art of calligraphy (shodô) or the way of incense (kôdo), and venerating their ancestors, Shinto deities, and the Buddha. This work is aimed at both travelers and curious minds seeking precise and detailed information.
It was designed to give a taste of the traditions of an astonishing country, capable of turning resolutely towards the future without losing anything of the very essence of its identity, namely a profound harmony between man and nature, a keen awareness of the precariousness of existence and the innate sense of poetry.
