あらゆる空間を電球や蛍光灯で照らしている現代は便利ですが本当に明るすぎると思います。ほの明るさや薄暗がりにこそ繊細な光と陰の美が存在するのではないでしょうか。

I hope Japan never modernizes but forever protects these ancient spaces and continues to create more. They are perfect artistically and spiritually. They are the perfect example of an ideal dwelling to me. Changing shadows, light and sound. Nature and space to mingle with it. Thank you for the lovely dream of home🙏😊❤️

陰影の豊かさに気付かされました。日本の美は暗がりの中にあることを改めて感じました。 ありがとうございます。

In lights absence, you have created mysterious beauty.~~~⛩

I have this extraordinary and lovely book. Your beautiful video added another dimension to it. Thank you!

Sound plays a crucial role in this video presentation

Your video is unique. You have a great cultural background. Thank you for everything.

I was reading "In Praise of shadows" only a few days ago-this brings it beautifully to life!

Wonderful. Love the peace we find in silence and stillness 🎄

日本語の勉強をしている生徒さんにおすすめする動画を探していて、こちらを発見いたしました。素晴らしい映像で日本の繊細な美を捉えられていて、とても感動しました。 陰翳礼讃の谷崎の世界観を、このような詩的な映像で表現されているものを観るのも初めてです。 もっと早く、こちらを知る事ができていればよかったです・・・ でも、これからも動画のアップ楽しみにしています！

Ein großartiges Video.... Es ist sehr inspirierend .....Vielen Dank und viele Grüße........👍👍

Sarara san , you have a gift of capturing 'everything and nothing at the same time'.......such a joy to watch. Thanks for all your hard work.

I’ve been reading this book and believe it or not, when I started reading it, the first thing that came to my mind were the videos on your channel that I had watched earlier (in spite of having visited Japan myself, although for too short a time). I had not even watched this particular video then. I think I just searched to learn more about it and this video showed up! What an amazing tribute to such a wonderful book and ALL your videos are visual representations of aesthetics in that book, and a treat to the viewers! This truly was a 11.5 minutes of pure meditation as all your videos are! Although there are 2 sides to Japan as light and shadow, we can’t appreciate one without the other! Thank you SO MUCH for this tribute and also sharing this! ❤

This is so beautiful. I'm very inspired by your videos. Keep it up🖤🤍

A refined point of view. I don't know whether it is intrinsically Japanese, but Japanese culture, to me, seems subdued and reflective. Thank you.

This is pure magic, thank you.

Thank you

Beautiful videography, presentation and music combined.

It’s my pleasure to be able to feel Japan through your videos.

終於上新的影片！等好久了..

何という文章表現だろうか… yuraraさんの生き方のベースとも思える美意識を垣間見たような気がしました。 静謐な時間をありがとうございました、是非買って(頑張って)読んでみたいと思います。 本年も宜しくお願い致します。

Lovely book. Don't be intimidated to go read It. It's about 50 pages. Considered an essay.

Well done.

I was pleasantly surprised to run across Tanizaki's philosophies and practices recently. Thank you for illustrating these.

The beauty of oriental culture

Linda demais parabéns. Grande abraço Brasil

Magnificent!❤

incredibly beautiful, as usual:) i really enjoyed this video, thank you!!! though for some reasons the video's quality was really poor.. i don't mean resolution but those shimmering squares in dark areas. like in old computer games from 90s. and that's definitively not because of my connection speed.

well thought and executed clip. a nice change up... btw, aren't shadows inherently empty :)

I am mightily impressed by the book for I dislike light pollution early on, but the book is not without its severe shortcomings. After all, Japan, particularly Tokyo is one of the most light-polluted city. Many of Japan’s proud achievements are related to lights and things complicated and ornate. Tanizaki wanted to live back, not forward. That is not his shortcoming for he can tell what the world would be 50 years later. It is the very lack of criticism of Tanizaki by modern Japanese that surprises me. Why can’t Japanese tell Tanizaki failed to vision Japan as a modern country, a civilization that can move on with the new world? Embracing Tanizaki’s utopia of everything old is backward no matter how romantic it may be.

Sensual vibes …quiet? Nahh imo or some times loud😢

While I wander through and find myself seduced by these simple beautiful images, I sense something wrong or amiss. Tanizaki is a traditionalist who desperately wanted to preserve an old Japan that was fast fading away in early 20th Century. I don’t fault him for such an effort, but he is wrong to assert that Japan after being modernized would be westernized and no longer Japan. Everything Japan absorbed from the West is still Japanese today. Like the anime, Godzilla and etc. The Japanese culture and sense of aesthetics is live, flourishing and spreading far and wide across the globe. Tanizaki erred in failing to believe that Japan would get westernized only to create a more vibrant culture which is distinctly Japanese. Tanizaki is an old fart living in the past and failed to see what the future might bring about.

Thank you
