Understanding Japan: A Cultural History, Hörbuch, Digital, 720min

Japan's extraordinary culture is like no other in the world, and it remains mysterious to many of us. And that's unfortunate, because to truly understand Japan's influence on the world stage, one needs to understand Japan's culture - on its own terms. In an exciting partnership with the Smithsonian, The Great Courses presents these 24 lectures that offer an unforgettable tour of Japanese life and culture. Professor Ravina, with the expert collaboration of the Smithsonian's historians, brings you a grand portrait of Japan. From the dawn of Confucianism and the Meiji Restoration to World War II and the economic miracle years of 1955 to 1975, you'll explore landmark periods of Japanese history and learn how broad events and movements introduced, innovated, and revised everything from spirituality to popular entertainment. Along the way you'll get revealing insights into Shinto (Japan's indigenous religion), the art of Katsushika Hokusai, literary works like The Tale of Genji and the haiku of Basho, the everyday lives of samurai, the universal appeal of filmmakers like Akira Kurosawa, foods like yakitori and tempura, and so much more. You'll come away from Professor Ravina's final lecture with a stronger sense of the very soul of this one-of-a-kind nation. Language: English. Narrator: Mark J. Ravina.

Living Zen Remindfully: Retraining Subconscious Awareness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min

A seasoned Zen practitioner and neurologist looks more deeply at mindfulness, connecting it to our subconscious and to memory and creativity. This is a book for listeners who want to probe more deeply into mindfulness. It goes beyond the casual, once-in-a-while meditation in popular culture, grounding mindfulness in daily practice, Zen teachings, and recent research in neuroscience. Austin shows that mindfulness can mean more than our being conscious of the immediate "now." It can extend into the subconscious, where most of our brain's activities take place, invisibly. Austin suggests ways that long-term meditative training helps cultivate the hidden, affirmative resource of our unconscious memory. "Remindfulness", as Austin terms it, can help us to adapt more effectively and to live more authentic lives. Austin discusses different types of meditation, meditation and problem-solving, and the meaning of enlightenment. He addresses egocentrism (self-centeredness) and allocentrism (other-centeredness), and the blending of focal and global attention. He explains the remarkable processes that encode, store, and retrieve our memories, focusing on the covert, helpful remindful processes incubating at subconscious levels. And he considers the illuminating confluence of Zen, clinical neurology, and neuroscience. Finally, he describes an everyday life of "living Zen", drawing on the poetry of Basho, the seventeenth-century haiku master. The book is published by The MIT Press. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Breath of a Heron: 31 Haikus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 5min

I am but cleaning maid. But this moment eyes the oak leaf hypnotist. Basho, Hafiz, and Isa knew haiku. The idea that language should be paired down is no joke when it comes to poetry. Syllable count varies from poet to poet and some haikus just occupy a single line, defying the convention of three. In between my undergraduate English pursuits at Berea College, I sought the barescape of language haiku offered. My peers might have assumed OCD. I saw these lovely performances of leaves dancing over the floor in a whirl of autumn and walked between my classes counting the poems I would write out on the tips of my fingers. This haiku about the leaf hypnotist came when I translated that moment to paper. Day ahead, mud stained snow. Long path lit up, as under quilt. Secretly reading. I need my haiku to follow most of the guidelines of traditional haiku. Nature words must carry the imagery of a season. Haikus, when harvested, washed, and munched into are important to the root. I want to feel Japan somehow in the poem. My Irish nephew who is my age married a Japanese woman, and ever since then, and their two children were born and became the only children of that generation in my family, I felt part Japanese. These haikus are the evidence that Westerners can learn from the unconventional beauty known as wabi sabi that is found in this poetry. Gliding over fields, stream detour. Does heron, great blue, see her breath? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: JD Kelly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/115950/bk_acx0_115950_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Michael Lange, Cold Mountain

(Please scroll down for English version) Über einen Zeitraum von sechs Jahren machte Michael Lange ausgedehnte Reisen in verschiedene Regionen der französischen Alpen (Mercantour, Ecrin, Serre-Chevalier,Valloire, Val Cenis, Vanoise und andere) auf der Suche nach Stille und Einsamkeit. Hoch oben in den Bergen entstand eine Sammlung eindrucksvoller meditativer Bilder, zwischen Licht und Dunkel, Stille und Sturm.Er folgte dabei der Vorstellung, dass es auch und gerade in der Landschaftsfotografie, den entscheidenden, einzig richtigen Moment gibt, den Moment des perfekten Gleichklanges zwischen Natur, Landschaft und dem Fotografen. Oft mußte er tagelang, manchmal wochenlang, hoch oben in den Bergen warten. Ständig begleitet vonWetter- und Lichtwechseln, Regen- und Schneeschauern,plötzlich strahlendem Sonnenlicht und nebelverhangenen Bergen, war er immer auf der Suche nach diesem Moment. Die zweiundfünfzig Bilder des Buches verbinden die stille Erhabenheit der Berglandschaften mit flüchtigen Momenten der Naturwahrnehmung. Michael Lange beschäftigt die Frage, wie wir wahrnehmen, was wir sehen, und wie wir neue Wege finden können, um unsere Gefühle in Bildern auszudrücken. Der Titel COLD MOUNTAIN bezieht sich auf den legendären Zen-Mönch, Dichter und Einsiedler Hanshan ("Cold Mountain") aus dem China des 7. Jahrhunderts. Die Auswahl der Gedichte, die die Einsamkeit der Berge und menschliche Seelenzustände reflektieren, stammt von vier berühmten Zen-Eremiten - Hanshan, Ikkyu, Basho und Ryokan - aus dem 7., 15., 17., und 18. Jahrhundert in China und Japan. In der Abfolge des Buches sind die Gedichte das verbindende Element zwischenden Bildgruppen. Sie setzen den Ton und bestimmen die Atmosphäre des Buches und der Bilder und spiegeln die lange Beziehung des Autors zum Zen-Buddhismus wider, die seine Landschaftsfotografie maßgeblich geprägt hat. COLD MOUNTAIN ist die vierte Publikation des Hamburger Fotokünstlers, der mit seinen vorhergehenden Büchern und Ausstellungen "Wald", "Fluss", "LA Drive-By" national und international bekannt und mehrfach ausgezeichnet wurde.For six years, Michael Lange made extensive journeys tovarious regions of the French Alps (Mercantour, Ecrin, Serre-Chevalier, Valloire, Val Cenis, Vanoise and others) searching for solitude and silence. High up in the mountains he created a collection of impressive meditative images, between light and dark, quiet and storm. He followed the idea that there is also and particularly in landscape photography, the decisive moment, the moment of perfect harmony between nature, landscape and the photographer. Often he had to wait for days, sometimes for weeks, high up in the mountains. Constantly accompanied by changes in weather and light, rain and snow showers, sudden beams of sunlight and mountains covered in mist - he was always in search of that moment. The fifty-two images in the book combine the quiet majesty of the mountain landscapes with fleeting moments of the perception of nature. Michael Lange deals with the question of how we perceive what we see and how we can find new ways to express our feelings in pictures. The title COLD MOUNTAIN refers to the legendary Zen monk, poet and recluse Hanshan ("ColdMountain") from 7th century China. The selection of poems reflecting the solitude of the mountains and human soul states is taken from four famous Zen hermits - Hanshan, Ikkyu, Basho and Ryokan - from the 7th, 15th, 17th and 18th centuries in China and Japan. In the sequence of the book, the poems connect the groups of pictures. They set the tone and determine the atmosphere of the book and the pictures and reflect the author's long relationship to Zen Buddhism, which has had a major influence on his landscape photography. COLD MOUNTAIN is the fourth publication by the Hamburg-based photo artist Michael Lange, who has been nationally and internationally renowned and has received numerous awards for his previous work, books and exhibitions: "Forest", "River", and "LA Drive

Cats in Spring Rain (eBook, ePUB)

This delightful little book pays homage to the cat through artfully curated Japanese poetry and prints. No one captures the graces and idiosyncrasies of cats quite like the painters, printmakers, and haiku masters of Japan. From the Edo to the Showa period, many artists turned their gaze toward an unlikely subject: their small feline companions. Closely observed portraits in words ad ink elevate the everyday adventures of cats: taking a nap on a Buddha statue's lap, daintily eating a rice ball, courting the neighbor's cat. This curated collection of poems, prints, and paintings will leave you inspired to cultivate the serenity and wonder embodied by these creators-and by the cats themselves. Presented as a sweet, jacketed paperback with thoughtful design touches, this volume includes each poem in both English and Japanese. THE ORIGINAL CAT LOVERS: Centuries before the emergence of cat memes and cat cafes, Japanese artists and writers perfected the practice of feline reverence. Cats played pivotal roles in folklore; they were the protectors of scriptures and symbols of good luck and wealth. They also proved to be a wonderful source of creative inspiration. This little compendium showcases Japan's rich cultural heritage. UNIQUE GIFT: Surprise your cat-loving friends and family with this unusual twist on the cat-themed gift. PERFECT FOR POETRY LOVERS: Whether they came to poetry through the works of Instagram poets, or have been reading the classics for decades, any lover of verse will enjoy this thoughtfully curated collection. The writers featured include Basho, Chiyo-ni, Issa, Shiki, and more-all icons of the haiku form. ENCHANTING ART: Hokusai, Hiroshige, Yoshitoshi, and more: These artists masterfully captured the personalities of cats and their humans. These images, with their delicate lines and soothing colors, have endured through time to bring us quiet joy. Perfect for: • Cat lovers • Poets and poetry readers • Artists and art lovers • Anyone who appreciates Japan's arts and culture

But unlike his two renowned colleagues, Ryokan was a societal dropout, living mostly as a hermit and a beggar. He was never head of a monastery or temple. He liked playing with children. He had no dharma heir. Even so, people recognized the depth of his realization, and he was sought out by people of all walks of life for the teaching to be experienced in just being around him. His poetry and art were wildly popular even in his lifetime. He is now regarded as one of the greatest poets of the Edo Period, along with Basho, Buson, and Issa. He was also a master artist-calligrapher with a very distinctive style, due mostly to his unique and irrepressible spirit, but also because he was so poor he didn't usually have materials: His distinctive thin line was due to the fact that he often used twigs rather than the brushes he couldn't afford. He was said to practice his brushwork with his fingers in the air when he didn't have any paper. There are hilarious stories about how people tried to trick him into doing art for them, and about how he frustrated their attempts. As an old man, he fell in love with a young Zen nun who also became his student. His affection for her colors the mature poems of his late period. This collection contains more than 140 of Ryokan's poems, with selections of his art, and of the very funny anecdotes about him.

As a pre-deceased private investigator, he takes the prescription Atroxipine hourly to keep his undead body upright and functioning. Whenever he is injured, he seeks Niko, a bombshell mortician with bedroom eyes and a way with corpses, to piece him back together. Decomposition, however, is the least of his worries when two clients posing his most dangerous job yet appear at his door looking for their lost son. Vitus is horrified to discover the photo of the couple's missing son is a picture-perfect reproduction of his long dead son. This leads him to question the events of his tormented past; he must face the possibility that the wife and child he believed he murdered ten years ago in a zombie-fugue have somehow survived - or is it just wishful thinking designed to pull him into an elaborate trap? Unfolding like a classic film noir mixed with elements of a B-movie, Bring Me Flesh, I'll Bring Hell is an imaginative spin on the hard-boiled detective genre and a new twist on the zombie novel. In Vitus Adamson, you will find a protagonist you can care about and invest in as he takes you through his emotional journey of betrayal and quest for redemption.
