Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Spirit of Japan: A Contribution to Spiritual Understanding Between Nations In this volume the author has investigated the National Spirit of the Japanese as a nation in its international relations, pursuing the ideal that in order to reform the present attitude of any nation towards foreign countries and secure a New Nationalism each country should, in the first place, penetrate much deeper than at present is the case into the foundation of its own National Spirit, and there discover the common bond of nations. And by bringing into light the real Japanese, and things Japanese, he has intended to make some contribution to the International Morality of the future and mutual understanding between nations. To attain the aim above mentioned, the author had first of all to discuss things Japanese which have been misunderstood by the world up to the present. But this means nothing more than stating facts as they are, even though they are not yet known to the world at large. Again, what he says about Shinto, Bushido, etc., is no more than his personal views concerning these. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It analyzes various aspects of the problem, including background, theory, history, recent advances and solutions, from a global view. In discussing the development of Chinese national spirit, it also refers to western experiences of national culture and national spirit. To build the spiritual home, the traditional culture, values and faith need to be learned, analyzed and adapted to the modern context. Doing so helps to maintain the traditional characteristics while at the same time reinforcing new characteristics. This model can be applied to many countries around the globe. Additionally, the author points out that in the construction of Chinese national spirit it is also important to consider positive elements from different cultures in other nations.br

Download or read book Defining Shugendo written by Andrea Castiglioni and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining Shugendo brings together leading international experts on Japanese mountain asceticism to discuss what has been an essential component of Japanese religions for more than a thousand years. Contributors explore how mountains have been abodes of deities, a resting place for the dead, sources of natural bounty and calamities, places of religious activities, and a vast repository of symbols. The book shows that many peoples have chosen them as sites for ascetic practices, claiming the potential to attain supernatural powers there. This book discusses the history of scholarship on Shugendo, the development process of mountain worship, and the religious and philosophical features of devotion at specific sacred mountains. Moreover, it reveals the rich material and visual culture associated with Shugendo, from statues and steles, to talismans and written oaths.

Download or read book Confucianism s Prospects written by Shaun O'Dwyer and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Confucianism's Prospects, Shaun O'Dwyer offers a rare critical engagement with English language scholarship on Confucianism. Against the background of historical and sociological research into the rapid modernization of East Asian societies, O'Dwyer reviews several key Confucian ethical ideas and proposals for East Asian alternatives to liberal democracy that have emerged from this scholarship. He also puts the following question to Confucian scholars: what prospects do those ideas and proposals have in East Asian societies in which liberal democracy and pluralism are well established, and individualization and declining fertility are impacting deeply upon family life? In making his case, O'Dwyer draws upon the neglected work of Japanese philosophers and intellectuals who were witnesses to Japan's pioneering East Asian modernization, and protagonists in the rise and disastrous wartime fall of its own modernized Confucianism. He contests a sometimes Sinocentric and ahistorical conception of East Asian societies as "Confucian societies," while also recognizing that Confucian traditions can contribute importantly to global philosophical dialogue, and to civic and religious life.
Download or read book Basketball in Japan written by Aaron L. Miller and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a study of basketball in Japan, this book aims to help readers better understand the historical formation and contemporary reformation of cultural identity in Japan. This reformation includes the process of reconciling the perceived differences between basketball in Japan and basketball in the West, the process of reconciling how perceptions of one’s body are shaped in a globally interconnected society, the process of reconciling what it means to be a modern man, and the process of reconciling what it means to be Japanese in a nation that is increasingly multicultural. In other words, basketball in Japan matters, not only because it has for too long been over‐simply labelled as a “minor” sport, but also because it is much more than a game. Examining the real and symbolic power which sport has on Japanese culture, and even in some instances the state, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of Japanese culture and society and the sociology of sports.

Download or read book Japan s Modern Myths written by Carol Gluck and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideology played a momentous role in modern Japanese history. Not only did the elite of imperial Japan (1890-1945) work hard to influence the people to "yield as the grasses before the wind," but historians of modern Japan later identified these efforts as one of the underlying pathologies of World War II. Available for the first time in paperback, this study examines how this ideology evolved. Carol Gluck argues that the process of formulating and communicating new national values was less consistent than is usually supposed. By immersing the reader in the talk and thought of the late Meiji period, Professor Gluck recreates the diversity of ideological discourse experienced by Japanese of the time. The result is a new interpretation of the views of politics and the nation in imperial Japan.
