Bøger om Japan

At the close of the 19th century, Japan remained a mysterious, isolated land to much of the Western world. In 1889, Greek-Irish writer Lafcadio Hearn became one of the first Westerners to document life in Meiji Era Japan firsthand when he settled in the country to teach English. In Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Hearn captures his fascinating early impressions of Japanese culture, traditions, and remarkable people. He recounts details both quaint and surprising-paper windows, communal bath houses, the lives of dancers, feather artisans, and blind masseurs-with poetic observation and insight gained from integrating into Japanese society as his perspective gradually shifts from that of a Westerner abroad to a Japanese local.From musings on Shinto death rituals to tales of vengeful ghosts, Hearn entrances readers with Japan's unique spiritual relationship to nature, ancestry, and the supernatural. At times displaying Western attitudes, yet more progressive than many of his era, Hearn develops an affectionate appreciation of Japan. His vivid travel writing captures striking aspects of a nation slowly emerging from centuries of isolation into the 20th century.Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan was originally published in two volumes; this edition presents the entire work in one, including the author's explanatory footnotes. The text is newly designed and typeset, printed on archival-quality, acid-free paper with case-laminate binding for durability and long use.

Nach einer Japanreise im Jahr 1953 veröffentlichte Werner Blaser sein richtungsweisendes Buch über die klassische japanische Architektur. Seine Studien zu den Holzbauten aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert dokumentieren minimalistische, rasterbasierte Strukturen mit starken Schwarz-Weiß-Fotos, einigen Farbaufnahmen und zahlreichen Strichzeichnungen. Das sowohl gestalterisch als auch inhaltlich hochgeachtete Buch trug erheblich zum Einfluss der japanischen Ästhetik auf die westliche Architektur, Kunst und Grafik bei. Mies van der Rohe etwa verschenkte es an seine Freunde. Angereichert wird der Reprint durch einen Text zur Geschichte des Buches von Christian W. Blaser, Werner Blasers Sohn, einen Beitrag von Inge Andritz über Mies van der Rohe und die japanische Architektur sowie ein persönliches Nachwort von Tadao Ando.

Desde una perspectiva europeo-occidental, gran parte de lo relacionado con el estado de Japón, incluida su historia y cultura y la gente que vive allí, no sólo parece extranjero, sino también en cierto modo inaccesible e incomprensible. Quienes no se ocupan de ello explícitamente a menudo no tienen ninguna conexión con Japón. Por supuesto, esto también se aplica a la mitología japonesa. A diferencia de la mitología grecorromana o nórdico-germánica, el nivel de conocimiento sobre ella en Occidente es más bien bajo.La enorme distancia geográfica y cultural hace que sea bastante improbable que haya una o incluso varias personas en las inmediaciones que estén familiarizadas con este tema. En otras palabras, se trata de un nicho de interés en este país. ¿Te interesa llenar una o dos lagunas en tu formación en este sentido? Tal vez ya tengas algunos conocimientos básicos sobre Japón y te gustaría profundizar en su mitología a continuación, o en general te interese saber cómo las distintas culturas del mundo están conformadas por sus respectivas mitologías.En cualquiera de estos casos, has tomado la decisión correcta al comprar este libro. Las peculiaridades culturales del mundo son diversas y cada una de ellas es apasionante por derecho propio y ofrece mucho interés al observador. Japón no es una excepción. Y de eso trata este libro.

If the mind is total silence, it is muffled, if the mind is muffled the ego is absent, if the ego is absent there is unity with what one is, if there is unity with what one is, there is deep experience with what is real and essential. To meditate deeply is to continually practice the vow of abstention from evil and union with good; it is a constant process because evil or mental illusion reproduces itself, simultaneously both internally and externally. Evil is the mental self subjected to the triple illusion of hatred, selfishness and falsehood, associated with the ego's insatiable desire for power, money and sex. When this desire is cut off, the ego dissolves and does not interfere with the nature of the soul, thus free from the false self. The inattention of the mental self is taken advantage of by the reproduction of evil to enter internally and force its permanence. If you meditate for light, you make a double effort, on the one hand you turn off all light in your inner room, on the other hand you call upon a stranger to give you a light which is not your own or to enter your personal room to turn on for you the very light which you have previously decided to turn off.

Shows how Britain's trans-imperial engagements in the long nineteenth century have come to shape global cultural commodity flows today.

Da una prospettiva europeo-occidentale, molto di ciò che riguarda lo stato del Giappone, compresa la sua storia e cultura e le persone che vi abitano, sembra non solo estraneo, ma anche in qualche modo inaccessibile e incomprensibile. Chi non se ne occupa esplicitamente, spesso non ha alcun legame con il Giappone. Naturalmente, questo vale anche per la mitologia giapponese. A differenza della mitologia greco-romana o nordico-germanica, il livello di conoscenza di questa mitologia in Occidente è piuttosto basso.L'enorme distanza geografica e culturale fa sì che sia piuttosto improbabile avere una o addirittura diverse persone nelle immediate vicinanze che abbiano familiarità con questo argomento. In altre parole, si tratta di un interesse di nicchia in questo Paese. È interessato a colmare una o due lacune nella sua formazione in questa direzione? Forse ha già una conoscenza di base del Giappone e desidera approfondire la sua mitologia, oppure è interessato in generale a come le diverse culture del mondo sono modellate dalle rispettive mitologie.In ognuno di questi casi, ha preso la decisione giusta acquistando questo libro. Le peculiarità culturali del mondo sono diverse e ognuna di esse è emozionante a sé stante e offre molto interesse all'osservatore. Il Giappone non fa eccezione. E questo è l'argomento di questo libro.

D'un point de vue occidental européen, beaucoup de choses liées à l'État du Japon, y compris son histoire, sa culture et ses habitants, semblent non seulement étranges, mais aussi, dans une certaine mesure, inaccessibles et incompréhensibles. Ceux qui ne s'y intéressent pas explicitement n'ont souvent aucun lien avec le Japon. Cela vaut bien sûr aussi pour la mythologie japonaise. Contrairement à la mythologie gréco-romaine ou nordique-germanique, le niveau de connaissance de celle-ci est plutôt faible en Occident.L'énorme distance géographique et culturelle fait qu'il est peu probable d'avoir une ou même plusieurs personnes dans son entourage proche qui connaissent ce sujet. En d'autres termes, il s'agit d'un intérêt de niche dans notre pays. Souhaitez-vous combler l'une ou l'autre lacune dans ce domaine ? Peut-être avez-vous déjà quelques connaissances de base sur le Japon et souhaitez-vous ensuite vous pencher sur sa mythologie, ou peut-être êtes-vous intéressé par la manière dont les différentes cultures du monde sont influencées par leurs mythologies respectives.Dans tous les cas, vous avez fait le bon choix en achetant ce livre. Les spécificités culturelles du monde sont nombreuses et chacune d'entre elles est passionnante en soi et offre beaucoup de choses intéressantes à l'observateur. Le Japon ne fait pas exception à la règle. Et c'est ce dont il est question dans ce livre.

Yogi Mettàtron adds another 4 Noble Truths, thus totaling 8 Noble Truths on the Path. These allow the interaction of the inner force of the Self with the outer nature, including all other beings, perfecting the art of compassion. By the 5th Noble Truth it states that according to the place and time that each human consciousness occupies upon the world, it is its responsibility and power, to prevent the greatest evil from becoming present upon the planet or to allow the greatest good to become present. It defines that every bullet that is fired and kills is possible, because we all souls on the world unconsciously accept it at the same time. A single soul, totally united with God and with perfect love for all, through faith and sincere prayer, can divert and avert a natural catastrophe and even a war. By the 6th Noble Truth it indicates that when there is balance within, opposites rest. This means that when there is perfect equilibrium within, outwardly there is no contradiction or tension between the opposites, harmony dominates over all nature. Duality is subdued. Peace and goodness abound.

The Order that exists in the Totality of relative existence is recreated from instant to instant by a frothy form of Cosmic Unified Consciousness through a constant flow of quantum information. It is what allows atomic sub-particles to flicker through quantum tunnelling, creating uncertainty while maintaining universal coherence. This scale of consciousness has existed since the origin of the cosmos and is the closest thing to our preconception of God. Everything is information and energy, it is what separates us from chaos. It is the software of Creation, a Fifth Force that makes the other four possible: gravity, electromagnetism, electroweak force and electro-strong force. So God, in this physical aspect, or this Quantum Unified Field Consciousness, is an essence of physical and not immaterial existence. So it is always possible to make intelligent contact with it. The very life known on Earth developed its potential consciousness from this form of Cosmic Proto-Mind. The human brain possesses the capacity to communicate, interact and expand on the scale of this universal consciousness.

If we increase the charge of our inner prana, our meditations will be much more intense, and it will be easier for us to enter into the state of emptiness and silence of mind, where it is possible to attract God's blessing and dialogue with Him. Our prayers will contain the same thoughts and words, but they will be recharged with energy and will penetrate space and time and obtain the desired response. Our bodies are nourished by food, water, air and the sun, but it is through the medulla oblongata or "mouth of God" that it receives directly the cosmic energy which is distributed through the subtle channels or nadis throughout the body. Through concentration, breathing, willpower, tension and relaxation it is possible to conduct the prana to the various parts of the body and learn to accumulate it there to recharge those cells.

Does physical education as a social motor purpose correspond to what we understand today as leisure and free time? Over time, educational, industrial and hospital establishments, among other sectors, both public and private, have given Physical Education the meaning of leisure and free time. They have given Physical Education an important place in society, so that nowadays the subject that some years ago was the "filler" in the educational classrooms nowadays brings with it a culture that is lived, sweated and felt as fitness. For this reason, it is now evident in different spaces that the subject in sports clothes is teaching and making known the importance of physical activity in our social body. Now, understanding physical education as a concept of training, discipline and performance is what occupies us and leads us to write these lines.

In ihrem Künstlerbuch zeigt Ann-Kristin Hamm Gemälde aus den letzten zehn Jahren. Die Werke sind im Buch nicht chronologisch, sondern auf Doppelseiten zusammengestellt und durch den gleichen Abbildungsmaßstab, wie in einer großen Ausstellung zu betrachten. Ann-Kristin Hamms großformatige Malerei bewegt sich leichtfüßig zwischen erfundenem Floralismus und fließender Farbabstaktion. Ihre Bildwelt entsteht unvorgewusst, direkt im Prozess des Malens und im Umgang mit dem Eigenleben der Farben. Das BILD BUCH ist ein aus Künstlerinnenhand, liebevoll und sorgsam gestaltetes Werk. Auf das BILD BUCH folgt ein TEXT HEFT.

Based on the Japanese myth of cats returning favours to humans who are kind to them, "The Full Moon Coffee Shop" is the name of a peculiar cake cafe that is run by talking cats, which has no fixed location and instead materialises unpredictably on the night of a full moon. The protagonists of this story - a successful female scriptwriter in crisis, a heartbroken tv director, and two male entrepreneurs - all end up there in the middle of the night, in a semi-dream-like state, and receive life-changing advice on love, work, and relationships from a charismatic tortoiseshell cat who interprets his guests' astrological chart.The Western horoscope comes into play, as well as the life phases, one for each planet, that guide what lessons we have or haven't allowed ourselves to learn. Meanwhile, the customers are served a selection of drinks and sweet treats tailored perfectly to their needs: a Lunar Chocolate Fondant for Aching Hearts, a Planetary Ice Affogato, an Ice Coffee with Sunrise Syrup, or a Bitter Coffee for Mature Souls.
