Title : Eternal Japan - Journey under the flowers of a floating world - Amélie Nothomb - Book

Summary :

" Texts and images respond to each other in a patient and inexhaustible dialogue that touches us, inexorably ." Booksellers' Page

" My personal mythology is Japan. My earliest memories are Japanese. For a very long time, I believed I was Japanese; it was a deep conviction. I believed it all the more because I lived in the heart of the most beautiful Japan, that of Kansai, in the South, very close to Kyoto and Nara, which are the most beautiful cities in the world. I was evolving in a universe of prints, in a Japanese garden, in the mountains, a Japan as we imagine it in the West when we fantasize about it.(...)

Follow me on the path of the kami in Shintoism, the path of Buddhism and Zen, the way of the samurai and the way of elegance . To better walk together under the flowers of the floating world, as the Japanese poet Matsuo Bashô expresses it, this world of ephemeral beauty in which we live. Amélie Nothomb

Amélie Nothomb takes us to discover Japan, its myths, its rites and its traditional arts. : a wonderful discovery of the country in the footsteps of one of its greatest ambassadors.
