Eine kurze Geschichte, die einen philosophischen Stil hat.
Es geht um Schatten, Schattierungen und ihre Umgebung. Und zwar in allen Bereichen des Lebens und der Behausung.

Jun'ichiro Tanizaki lebte von 1886 bis 1965, und er war ein berühmter japanischer Schriftsteller. Ein Klassiker ist In Praise of Shadows.

Das Buch gibt es auch auf Deutsch.

"We do not dislike everything that shines, but we do prefer a pensive luster to a shallow brilliance, a murky light that, whether in a stone or an artefact, bespeaks a sheen of antiquity."

"And I realized then that only in dim half-light is the true beauty of Japanese lacquerware revealed."

In Praise of Shadows
Jun'ichiro Tanizaki

In Praise of Shadows. In Japan, materials have limited value until they develop their patina. Silver doesn’t get polished, it’s left to go near black. Timber is not sanded and varnished, it’s left to fade to tones of grey and the texture of the grain celebrated. There is similar delight in this farm gate. Patinated and pitted by wind blown sea spray but note the shine on the knobs from the thousands of hands that have slid the bolt back and forth. Beautiful. #patina #inpraiseofshadows
