Book: In Praise of Shadows
76.00 ₪In Praise of Shadows is the celebrated 1933 essay by Japanese writer Junichiro Tanizaki. In this elegant and deeply personal work, Tanizaki explores the foundations of Japanese aesthetics through everyday life—from traditional architecture and tableware to the experience of light, shadow, and materiality.
Reflecting on a culture that finds beauty in subtlety, mystery, and darkness, he contrasts it with the brightly lit modern world. Rich in observation and association, the book offers a timeless meditation on design, tradition, and aesthetic sensibility.
