BookPal × TalezoKansai Cool
Kansai—the region in Western Japan that boasts the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara, the bustling commercial city of Osaka and the cosmopolitan port city of Kobe—has a character all its own, right down to its dialect, mannerisms, and cuisine. It is home to some of Japan's oldest history and an area where the country's most time-honored arts and crafts still thrive. Worldly and otherworldly, spirited and spiritual, trendy and traditional, it's a place where past and future live side-by-side, sometimes at odds.
Part Japanese travel book, part cultural commentary, these 25 spirited essays and 32 pages of color photos paint a broad yet penetrating portrait of the unique Western Japan region, covering such diverse topics as:
- The needs of the spirit—shrines, temples and the call to pilgrimage
- The arts in Kansai—dance, painting, anime, and combat
- The relationship between hi-tech and old-tech
- Material culture—bikes, robots, and dolls
- The culture of fashion in Kansai—from kimonos and obis to modern fashion designers, and the Lolita complex
- The meaning of landscape— human-made islands and the mystical power of water
- The hidden meaning of food—an anthropology of coffee and traditional cuisine
