He explains aesthetic concepts like wabi, sabi, aware, and yugen, and ponders their relevance in art and cinema today.Donald Richie is the foremost explorer of Japanese culture in English, and this work is the culmination of sixty years of observing and writing from his home in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eA Tractate on Japanese Aesthetics | Donald Richie | paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49683151519984,"sku":"NEW1933330236","price":11.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/a-tractate-on-japanese-aesthetics","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
