* This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access* Dedicated to non-human animals and Animal Ethics in Japan* Presents a history of Human-Animal-relationship in Japan in a Western language* Explains in simple terms the world of one of the most fascinating thinkers of pre-modern JapanIn this Open Access book, the reader is presented with an outlook on current developments in Japanese Animal Ethics and how Andō Shōeki's depictions of non-human animals, as well as the examination of Chinese and Japanese traditions of animal description, could give a new impetus to the field. Andō Shōeki is one of the most important thinkers in Japanese intellectual history, as a philosopher who demonstrates remarkable creativity in his critical engagement with the traditional knowledge of China and Japan. This makes him an ideal starting point for a book on non-human animals in pre-modern Japan. This book not only explains the world of one of the most fascinating thinkers of pre-modern Japan in simple terms, but also introduces the reader to the Chinese and Japanese zoological traditions. It provides well-founded information on the role of each non-human animal in the Japanese (and also Chinese) human-animal relationship.Melissa Ann Kaul is an SNSF-Postdoc.
