A review by bookish_bry
In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

It's a very beautiful piece. I often found myself envisioning what was being talked about. Also it's always nice to read about a culture from someone in that culture. Not Japaneese in general, but Japaneese specifically when this book was written. This was written, what? In the 30s, so pre-WWII. It's interesting to get that perspective.
