10 dienas līdz mēs pārvācamies uz Japānu.
Gatavojoties šim trakajam solim esmu uzsūcis milzīgu gūzmu ar informāciju, bet viens no vērtīgākajiem avotiem ir lekciju kurss – Understanding Japan: A Cultural History.
Ja jums interesē ievads Japānas kultūrā un vēsturē, tad šis būs labs sākums. Pēc tam var pētīt un meklēt konkrētāku informāciju, bet šis lekciju kurss sakārtoja un loģiski izskaidroja visus manus Japānas zināšanu robus.
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.

Varu ieteikt daudz grāmatu. Pirmā ir Edgara Kataja Japāna, tāda kā neliela enciklopēdija par visu.
Tālāk, šis džeks visu mūžu dzīvojis Japānā un daudz laika pavadījis ar dažādiem kultūras ekspertiem, pirmais ārzemnieks, kas Japānā saņēmis ne-fiction balvu literatūrā: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42676.Lost_Japan
