## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Highly recommended!
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2015*

As someone just learning about traditional Japanese culture, this book served as a great intro to the terms and how they are generally used. It made for fascinating reading and was particularly helpful in understanding the place that aesthetics held at one point in time in Japan. While I was saddened to understand that many of these concepts have become "fossilized" as the author says, it also fired my imagination to read about the unique viewpoint the Japanese had about art.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Decent Introduction
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015*

I'm not sure I got as much out of it as I anticipated from previous reviews. It does condense and make coherent a lot of the other sources one would be looking at as alternatives. That is a big plus. The writing is definitely geared toward a rational personality type and makes a good introduction that will hopefully encourage a much deeper look into the "Ways" connected to Japanese aesthetics. That style certainly appealed to me, but might seem to miss the nuances of other authors for some readers. The bibliography is great for what to read next. Overall a recommended starter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A great and important work on Japanese Aesthetics
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014*

This book sums up admirably the differences in Western and Eastern aesthetics, and gives valuable insight into the Japanese mind. If you have ever wondered how Japanese artists think, this is the book for you. In addition it is quite easy to read, and makes difficult concepts entirely acessible to the novice.
