Editor's Note:
«El aspecto más precioso de la vida es su incertidumbre». A partir de estas palabras de un monje budista del siglo XIV, Donald Keene, una de las mayores autoridades en Occidente sobre cultura japonesa, ofrece una elegante y sutil aproximación a la literatura de la era premoderna del imperio del Sol Naciente. Este delicioso ensayo acerca al lector a su poesía, su narrativa y su teatro, desde las que para Keene son las cuatro principales características del concepto nipón de belleza: irregularidad, simplicidad, caducidad y sugestión. Cada capítulo propone además brillantes reflexiones que nos iluminan sobre aquellos elementos culturales que, herederos de una tradición milenaria, se han conservado casi intactos hasta nuestros días. Así, descubriremos por ejemplo que la reducida extensión de sus poemas era originalmente casi una necesidad, por qué en el kabuki los actores representan también los personajes femeninos, la razón por la que los más exquisitos templos están construidos en madera, la preferencia por la cerámica imperfecta o el desbordante entusiasmo de todo un pueblo por la efímera y delicada flor del cerezo.
