Лекция «Азбука японской эстетики: югэн» / Наталья Демкина

Natalia Demkina's second lecture in a series on Japanese aesthetics at the Center for Oriental Literature of the Russian State Library. The concept of "yugen" translates from Japanese as "hidden beauty." Yugen lies beyond the visible world; it is a magical, mystical, and sacred beauty. In Japanese culture, its highest expression is Noh theater—a wondrous, enchanting world.
