Secrecy in Japanese Arts: Secret Transmission as a Mode of Knowledge: Operation, Logic, and the Modern Survival of Esotericism in the Japanese Arts by Maki Isaka Morinaga
Requirements: .PDF reader, 12.4 MB
Overview: This book explores the Japanese tradition of secret transmission of knowledge within a closed and often hereditary group. The author investigates how esoteric practices function, how people make meaning of their practices, and how this form of esotericism survived into the modern age. The first two questions are examined by using esoteric texts from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. The last looks at theatrical treatises from the late nineteenth century on.
