Yanagi was a thinker who believed that world peace could not be achieved by 'painting the world in one single colour'.Before and during World War II, when Japan was invading Asia and enforcing its cultural assimilation policy in its colonies and occupied territories, Yanagi aspired to realise a world in which multiple races and cultures could coexist. His pacifist thought rests on the idea of 'composite beauty', an ideal of creating a world in which heterogeneous entities can accept their differences and learn from each other.Tracing Yanagi's intellectual development, this insightful and comprehensive book presents a positive reevaluation of the contemporary significance of his thought from the viewpoint of international relations, shedding light on the ways to achieve interdependence and mutual respect.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: AUItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Mari NakamiGenre: Architecture & AntiquesTopic: Society & Culture, Philosophy & Spirituality, Arts & Photography, Law & Politics, BiographyRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
