Junichiro Tanizaki was a major writer of modern Japanese literature who wrote numerous books, including The Makioka Sisters and Naomi: A Novel.
This is an essay on aesthetics by one of the greatest Japanese novelists. The text ranges over architecture, jade, food, toilets, and combines an acute sense of the use of space in buildings, as well as perfect descriptions of lacquerware under candlelight and women in the darkness of the house of pleasure. The essay forms a classic description of the collision between the shadows of traditional Japanese interiors and the dazzling light of the modern age.

評分所以除瞭“質樸高雅”東方美學之外,民族主義的氣息好重(都直接討論膚色問題瞭)。不隻是建築布局,小到紙墨筆硯、餐具、禮器,大到藝妓、能劇都以所謂“陰翳渾濁”的外錶為美。一切有金屬色澤和亮光的都成瞭“西方”和“現代”瞭。這不就是更高一個層麵的我與非我的觀念?

評分從漆器物件到建築文化再到人與社會,充滿瞭作者對那個不被電光打擾的年代的追思,也不免有些過於理想主義或個人主義的論斷,讓人不敢苟同。
