Elogio de la sombra is a plea in favor of Japanese art and society, which values the half-light, the nuance, the subtle; those aspects that enrich and lend interest to things. In contrast to the Western banality caused by an excess of light, relentless modernisation and practicality, shadow becomes a welcoming refuge, tempering the clamour and drawing us towards reflection.
Through silent contemplation of the world around him, Tanizaki reveals and elegantly illuminates the very essence of beauty.
