Destek

In ‘Occult Japan, ‘ Percival Lowell delves into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of Japanese society through the lens of the esoteric and the extraordinary. Combining personal observations with meticulous research, Lowell explores themes ranging from Buddhism and Shinto rituals to the influence of folklore on everyday life. His prose is rich and evocative, drawing readers into a world where the mystical and the mundane coexist. Published in 1896, the book reflects the Western fascination with Japan during the Meiji era, a time when the country was transitioning into modernity while retaining deep-rooted traditions. Percival Lowell (1855-1916), an American astronomer and influential thinker, was a prominent figure in the study of Japanese culture, which he first encountered during his time in the East. His keen interest in Buddhism and Japan’Äôs societal structures stemmed from his broader investigations into the implications of cultural exchange and the burgeoning global society of his time. Lowell’s extensive travels and observations contributed to a unique perspective that sought to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western philosophies. ‘Occult Japan’ is essential for readers interested in anthropology, cultural studies, as well as the history of Western perceptions of Japan. Lowell’Äôs engaging narrative not only illuminates the complexities of Japanese spirituality but also invites readers to reflect on their understanding of the interplay between modernization and tradition.
