(★)(´HC-0336´es mismo libro. 1.´Everyday Life in Traditional Japan´paints a vivid portrait of Tokugawa Japan when, under control of the shogun, contacts with the outside world were deliberately avoided and the daily life of the different classes consolidated the traditions that shaped modern Japan. Authentic samurai, farmers, craftsmen, merchants, courtiers, priests, entertainers, and outcasts come to life in this magnificently illustrated portrait of a colorful society. In fascinating detail, Charles J. Dunn describes how each class lived : their food, clothing, and houses ; their beliefs and their fears. At the same time he takes account of certain important groups that fell outside the formal class structure, such as the courtiers in the emperor´s palace at Kyoto, the Shinto and Buddhist priests, and at the other extreme, the actors and the outcasts. he concludes with a lively account of everyday life in the capital city of Edo, the present-day Tokyo. 2.Charles J. Dunn was the Reader in Japanese at the School of oriental and African Studies, University of London. He lived and traveled extensively in Japan, and his research into kabuki and puppet drama brought him into contact with many aspects of traditional Japan.) |
