Samurai have fired our imagination with their fighting spirit and heroic deeds ever since Europeans set foot on Japanese shores during the middle of the 16th century. But what was the fuel on which these men ran? What was in their stomachs as they rode into battle? More widely, what kind of ingredients and dishes did the medieval Japanese eat and cherish? What were their tastes and culinary traditions? These questions point to the wellsprings of Japanese cuisine, widely considered one of the most sophisticated in the world.To answer these questions, Samurai Dishes delves into the long history of Japanese cooking. It traces the origins and use of typically Japanese ingredients. It shows the importance of food (or lack of it) in times of trouble and its ceremonial role in battle, both on the eve of victory and in the wake of defeat. And it reveals the deep symbolism of food to the warrior as a source of nourishment and revival. What emerges is the important role of food in a society obsessed with prestige and pride. Moving toward the present, Samurai Dishes highlights the innate Japanese attention to quality, freshness, and seasonality of ingredients, the tools with which to prepare them, and the various traditions according to which they are served. To top it all, it presents thirty easy-to-make and mouthwatering historical Japanese dishes, each with photographs and step-by-step explanations. Samurai Dishes is a fascinating window into Japan's martial culinary tradition and a source of some really tasty recipes for which a samurai would have killed in an instant.

The body is composed of matter, there is no doubt about that. But as to consciousness, what is its essence: energy, spirit? What we can establish is that consciousness can only be conscious of itself through a physical body, whereas the physical body, if it lacks consciousness, is totally inert. The characteristic of consciousness is that it is latent in all that exists, it is universal, impersonal, all-pervading. The Whole is consciousness and we are part of that ocean. We can infer that when the body dies the individual consciousness is submerged in the universal consciousness. That "I" prior to consciousness is unconditioned, timeless, atemporal, aerospatial, not conscious of Being (because there is no other). What One Is, is always permanent, eternal, unique. What we seek we already are, we only need to understand it in order to realise it. It is about transferring our identity from the physical body to the Infinite, from processing as a transient wave to an absolute wave. Dialogues around the world between Yogi Mettàtron and sincere seekers of truth, through the religion and Buddhism chat rooms and Yahoo Messenger during the years 2002 and 2004.

After half a decade in Japan, Garett Wilson thought that nothing could shock him anymore...until he started a new job and a new life at a junior high school in downtown Tokyo.

Over the course of one year in Tokyo, Garett navigates the perilous waters of 21st-century Japan, where love and laughter are as common as violence and tragedy. From love hotels to sumo, Yakuza gangs to hostess bars, and a Shinto wedding to a KFC Christmas, discover what Tokyo is really like for its 38 million inhabitants.A travel book, a tale of sex and romance, and a love letter to a maddening, wonderful place, Lost in Tokyo provides a new perspective on living, working, and playing in the world's most vibrant city.

Mettàtron was born in Puerto Belgrano (Argentina), in a middle class family, with the name of Roberto Guillermo F. Gomes. Since he was a child he listened to the Om and perceived the spiritual eye in the ajna chakra. During his adolescence, at the age of 16, he had a decisive moment for his later spiritual life. He went with some high school friends to see the movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" by Franco Zeffirelli and at the very moment when the actor who played the role of St. Francis of Assisi had the vision of God, Yogi's mind went into samadhi. Leaving the theater in a trance-like state, he was drawn to the shore and went to the tip of a breakwater. There his "third eye" spontaneously opened and the night was illuminated. He saw trillions of beings occupying the firmament and all in chorus were saying "Lord of Heaven, save us!". Then he wondered to whom they were speaking thus, and as he thought this his attention was seized by a divine force from on High. Suddenly he knew that he was in front of the Creator, he saw before him a source of intense light, unbearable to see from the front. Surprisingly, he heard a deep and sweet voice that said to him, "Son, you are Spirit".

Scholarship on Japan¿s development from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century has, perhaps quite understandably, been dominated by attention given to Japan¿s emergence as a world power through a succession of military conflicts, and the burgeoning of a modern literary canon. This book argues that the emergence of empire and high culture needs to be more thoroughly integrated with an awareness of popular culture in urban life, a culture that at times exhibited a less than whole-hearted enthusiasm for the trappings of 'civilization', - a culture that was, in a sense, ¿decadent¿. It integrates coverage of popular culture across diverse media and platforms, accentuating the emergence of new modern forms that evolved from the inter-relation between textual, visual and performative traditions such as k¿dan and giday¿. The commentary is seasoned with reference to contemporary narratives, aiming to capture more ¿on the street¿ perceptions of momentous events such as war and natural disasters, as well as the more arcane or curious media sensations of the moment. These included exposés of scandalous conduct in high places, new fads in popular entertainments and riveting stories of human interest whether it be crime or tragedies of modern urban living.

Isabella Bird's 1878 expedition through Japan, chronicled in 'Unbeaten Tracks in Japan,' immerses readers in an extraordinary odyssey across the seldom-explored territories of Japan's remote northern and central regions. Breaking away from conventional travel narratives, Bird adopts an unconventional prose style, crafting a captivating tale of her off-the-beaten-path escapades.Rather than confining herself to the urban bustle, Bird ventures deep into Japan's rustic countryside and less-trodden areas. Her journey unravels hidden corners, revealing feudal villages virtually untouched by Western influences. Within these enclaves, she encounters a mesmerizing fusion of age-old traditions entwined with the winds of modernization ushered in by the Meiji era.The pinnacle of Bird's exploration lies in her traverse to Hokkaido, Japan's northern frontier, where she encounters the indigenous Ainu people. Entranced by their unique culture, she documents their way of life amidst the looming threat of encroaching imperialist forces that menace their ancestral customs.Throughout her sojourns, Bird paints vivid landscapes onto the pages of her narrative canvas-towering mountains, serene lakes, and idyllic rural panoramas where farmers and artisans coexist harmoniously with nature's rhythms. This captivating imagery, interspersed with literary allusions, historical insights, and poetic prose, weaves an eccentric tapestry that mirrors the mystique of the realm she traversed.'Unbeaten Tracks in Japan' becomes the conduit through which Bird presents the allure of ancient Japanese culture to Western readers through a distinctly feminine perspective. Her chronicle serves as an enchanting portal, inviting readers to venture into the depths of Japan's lesser-known landscapes and traditions, enriched by Bird's eloquent portrayal of this captivating and enigmatic realm.

On the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki comes this heart-pounding account of the war-room drama inside the cabinets of the United States and Japan that led to Armageddon on August 6, 1945.

Hokusais 53 Stationen des Tokaido 1801 sind etwas ganz anderes! Es ist sein erstes.Es unterscheidet sich von seinen berühmten 36 Ansichten des Berges Fuji aus dem Jahr 1832, bei denen es sich um erhabene künstlerische Ausdrucksformen handelt, die ein langes Lebenswerk widerspiegeln.Es unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen bekannten Werken Hokusais, etwa seinen 100 Ansichten des Berges Fuji. Aber in dieser Serie hat Hokusai noch viel von dem Humor und der Karikatur beibehalten, die hier zu finden sind.Es unterscheidet sich von den vielen anderen, später bekannten 53 Stationen des Tokaido darin, dass Hokusai sich nicht auf die Landschaft und die Markierungen konzentriert, die Hiroshige und andere zeigten.Stattdessen konzentriert sich Hokusai auf die Ereignisse, die Interaktionen zwischen den Reisenden und die Geschichten, die Sie Ihren Freunden erzählen werden, wenn Sie nach Hause kommen.Es war ein großartiger und früherer Beitrag zur Tokaido-Literatur.

This book identifies the crucial variables as classic Japanese forms of socio-political organization: the "circles of compensation." These cooperative groupings of economic, political, and bureaucratic interests dictate corporate and individual responses to such critical issues as investment and innovation; at the micro level, they explain why individuals can be decidedly cautious on their own, yet prone to risk-taking as a collective. Kent E. Calder examines how these circles operate in seven concrete areas, from food supply to consumer electronics, and deals in special detail with the influence of Japan's changing financial system. The result is a comprehensive overview of Japan's circles of compensation as they stand today, and a road map for broadening them in the future.
