資料紹介

Jyunichiro Tanizaki, one of the biggest Japanese writer, complain and lament about the westernization of modern Japan. Tanizaki is not only praise the distinctive beautiful through art, but he also persuaded the elegant rusticity through many interesting examples such as toilet, ink brush, artillery, or Japanese women in shadow. He mention about the warm use of shadows in traditional Japanese buildings through sho-ji(Japanese paper wall) or duskiness candlelight.
Tanizaki often felt discomfort against western culture, but he wasn’t just conservative and anti-foreign culture. I think Tanizaki propose what is the comfortable to Japanese, and so he even expected some western technologies may be able to form differently for best fit to Japanese if Japanese invented those technologies by our own hands. However Tanizaki was reminiscent of Japanese traditional concept of beauties, he was partly giving up changing with generations. In fact, When Tanizaki ordered the new house, his architects made a plan to emphasize the shadow as Tanizaki had written.
