Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. El desconocido clasico japones que desperto la curiosidad del mundo tras Perfect Days, de Wim Wenders: una meditacion y una vida en torno al arbol como espejo de lo que amamos.Aya Koda nacio hace mas de un siglo, pero su prosa sigue siendo asombrosamente fresca. Hiromi KawakamiCerezos, glicinas, cipreses hinoki, pinos de Ezo, cedros sugi de mas de siete mil anos. Los arboles de Japon son emblemas de belleza que nunca dejan de cautivarnos. Desde nina, el padre de Aya Koda les regalaba arboles a ella y a sus hermanos, y les enseno a plantarlos, a estar atentos a las plagas, a distinguir las variedades a partir de cada hoja y a dar las gracias con reverencias al jardinero. Ahi nacio una relacion de amor que cultivo a lo largo de su vida y que la llevo a ser consciente de su imprescindible valor y de la obligacion que tenemos de cuidarlos.Durante sus viajes por Japon para contemplar lo singular e imperecedero que se esconde en cada arbol, Aya Koda tambien asistio a desprendimientos de tierra, al trabajo de los taladores o se adentro en bosques cubiertos de ceniza. El fruto de sus viajes es esta hermosa coleccion de ensayos que iluminan el paisaje, la historia y la cultura japoneses, y nos hablan de la belleza, la perdida, la fugacidad y los ciclos de la vida. Un clasico moderno que ha traspasado generaciones para recordarnos que los arboles son un espejo en el que reconocemos quienes somos y que legado queremos dejar en el mundo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTranslated into English for the first time after a hugely successful 2022 reissue in Japan, this classic text, which features prominently in Wim Wenders film Perfect Days, takes us on a beautiful, pensive journey through trees in Japan.
