Seigo Matsuoka, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who has devoted his scientific career to the study of Japanese culture, provides an opportunity to deeply understand how the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun see the world. In 16 lectures, he introduces us to the peculiarities of the people's worldview, historical events, etymology of words, musical and gastronomic preferences, helping us understand why the Japanese are like that. This is the first edition of the professor's works in Russian. The scientific editor was the Japanese scholar Tatiana Naumova, thanks to whom every Japanese word is accompanied by a decoding of its true meaning, thereby immersing us in a cultural context and not leaving us alone with information that may not be fully familiar to us yet. And the illustrations accompanying the lectures add special value to the publication, vividly demonstrating how the Japanese style of clothing was formed, aesthetic taste and where the Japanese are moving today as a nation. The book will be useful both for those who are just beginning to immerse themselves in Japanese culture, and for those who have already read a lot about it. Seigo Matsuoka conveys information to the reader accurately and carefully, without distortions and simplifications, but with clarity that only an experienced teacher can provide.
