About the Item
"""The quality that we call beauty, however, must always grow from the realities of life.""
Following a tour of three Zen gardens in Kyoto, the guide shared an essay written by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki in 1933, titled In Praise of Shadows. In it, he contrasts the Japanese appreciation for the subtlety and transience of dimness and darkness—and the beauty and mystery they evoke—with the Western preference for bright, harsh ambiance.
""We delight in the mere sight of the delicate glow of fading rays clinging to the surface of a dusky wall, there to live out what little life remains to them. We never tire of the sight, for to us this pale glow and these dim shadows far surpass any ornament.""
His perspective ties closely to the Japanese concept of Ma, which describes the importance of negative space—between objects, or between moments in time. It’s a principle deeply embedded in Japanese art, architecture, language, and interaction. Ma is the intentional interval that creates balance and flow in life.
There’s no shortage of flash and awe in this bustling island nation.
But so much is said in what isn’t.
The slow closing of the eyelids that lets you take in the delicate details on the macaque's face—the creases, the stillness, the way the water holds on his hair.
The muted blinking of red obstruction lights across a sea of Tokyo skyscrapers.
The bow from the Shinkansen conductor to his successor on the platform.
The people paused at a crosswalk—no cars in sight—waiting for the light to turn green before taking their next step.
These subtle, fleeting moments stay with you long after you leave.
The pale glow that keeps me coming back."

"Shinto is Japan’s oldest religion, with origins dating back to the tail end of the Stone Age.
While many Japanese people do not consider themselves religious, a large percentage of the population still follows Shinto ideas today.
You don’t have to venture far in the country to find one of its 80,000 shrines. They stand tall in quiet forests, over the water along the island’s coasts, and above rice fields.
Shinto was not born from a specific founder or religious scripture—it lives within the people.
It is not a defining characteristic—rather, it is a part of life.
Personal virtues are emphasized over strict rituals or rules. Benevolence, harmony, courage, and gratitude all support the key theme of Shinto: the concept of purity, or harae. The religion holds that humans are inherently good and should cleanse themselves of moral and spiritual impurities. Followers strive to achieve makoto no kokoro—a heart of truth.
You will see a version of this ritual at the entrance of shrines. Visitors gather at a water basin and use a wooden ladle to pour water over each of their hands. It's fitting that some of Japan’s animal residents appear to find their own quiet form of renewal in the mountains.
For centuries, monkeys have appeared in Japanese folklore with a variety of meanings. They have been used as metaphors for tricksters and the negative traits of humans, but they have also served as sacred messengers to the gods.
On this rainy morning in northern Japan, I observed macaques who seemed to embody both roles.
There were the raucous individuals—screeching, pulling hair, and chasing others beside the hot springs—falling...
