The following is from the book review section of today's Sankei Shimbun.
It was a book review column that I had read earnestly when I had subscribed to the Asahi five years ago until August, but in the end, not only being good-for-nothing but from my regret and anger to the fact that they made me read the book reviews of those who continued to cause astronomical damage to Japan,
I stopped reading subscriptions for the Asahi Shimbun and switched to subscriptions for Sankei, Nikkei, and Yomiuri, but I hardly read book reviews.
Sometimes I read only the book review of Sankei. Today was that day, but there were two good reviews I would like to introduce.
First,
Theory of Japanese people by Harvard
For True Globalization. Ms. Sato Chie
Japanese like a robot, specialty to the details, longevity, duty · loyalty
The spirit of manufacturing and cleaning, the power to tell stories.
"Japanese characteristics" that the world pays attention to.
A writer, consulting author interviewed ten professors of American Harvard University about that root.
From the intelligence of a wide range of fields, such as media theory, history of art, genetics, and molecular cell biology, she attracted Japan's attraction of "I saw the light."
YUKIO LIPPIT who studies Edo period genius artist Itō Jakuchū interprets ... (from the world view as a Buddhist) 'Jakuchū thought that' Buddhist nature Defined as staying in part of the painting ... and therefor Jakuchū focused his efforts on artistry equally to the details.
David C. Atherton, Associate Professor of the popular class "Theory of life learned from samurai," "Why do Japanese care about appearance?" As well as bureaucracy and life-time employment, "Originated from the samurai culture of the Edo period," he explains.
By the way, he said that Samurai and Harvard's students have something in common, such as "the elite of society, but also deep distress."
Also, she is approaching "Why do you draw the end of the story ambiguous" (literature), "Do the Japanese like heredity?" (Politics), "Why do the Japanese respect craftsmanship and cleaning?" (Religion), and so on.
Through interviews, "I thought that Japanese originality and uniqueness are treasures. Some people say that there is" a secret source "at the base of Japanese culture."
Also, she puts her strength, 'Knowing Japanese strengths, making the best out of it and demonstrating value in the international community is true globalization. Japanese are keen to study and have the knowledge, but it is important how to use it and act.'
"If it is possible to associate with a foreigner, too, confidently when understanding the Japanese. If this book becomes that hint, I am glad."
The Tokyo Olympics is also on hold, and it is one book that we would like to read as Japanese.
(Mihoya Hiroki)
