Why does the aesthetics of death appear repeatedly in Japanese literature?

This topic interests me.

But I don't feel that most Japanese literature is full of death aesthetics. The aesthetics of death, especially the exploration of death around bushido, is somewhat present in Japanese literature, but it is limited to one branch of Japanese literature.

Examples of writing about death in a "beautiful" way can be found in many countries

Some writers seem to be naturally attracted to death; Jack London and Ernest Hemingway both wrote about extremely shocking deaths (which I've read very little of), and the suicides of Martin Eden, and the snows of Kilimanjaro, as well as The Old Man and the Sea, are also widely recognized as being masterpieces about death and violence. Andreyev of the USSR was plagued by mental illness all his life, and wrote n number of masterpieces about death that make you shiver from the JI beams when you read them.

To modern times, the most direct focus on the beauty of death is the movie ~ now so respected aesthetics of violence also includes the death of a beautiful shot. For example, just recently concluded two films, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" in order to enhance the B hard to Yondu whole dead, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" Put Captain Barbossa to death can not be said to be a stinking move, although stinking, or extremely likely to make his death a very tragic color ...... I would like to say that, in the work of art, no matter whether it is a novel or movies, rendering the beauty of death is a matter of course.

Then the beauty of death in Japanese literature

While I haven't read many Japanese novels, I have to say

The death of the samurai, I don't believe that anyone has seriously read a few of them, and I've read them all, and I've only seen one of them, which is a book by Nanjo Koboji, "Suruga Castle Omae Trial >" and it's only in the last couple of years that it's been localized...

The death of Ako and the death of the loyal subjects in Japan are the most tragic events in the world, but they are not the most tragic events in the world, so I think that's why we have to do this. Japan's akaho incident and Zhongshen hide is very famous historical events, N more than director repeatedly shot, there are positive shot, there are also questioned, my favorite deep work Xinji also combined to shoot a & lt; Zhongshen hide foreign & gt;

If there is the so-called Japanese literature of the death of the aesthetics of the words, it is also Japanese literature in the color of the love and the Japanese swordsman novels of the two very small branch, and the Japanese this The place is the same, although a little smaller, narrower road, but still retained a fairly primitive and wild style, but also a unique flavor

And Japan prevails in the "thing sad" culture

thinks that the highest state of beauty is the beauty of the broken beauty of the beauty of the despair

This is the composition of the core of the traditional culture of Japan

Also is the characteristics of Japanese literature

This culture penetrates into the hearts of the Japanese people, and the Japanese people have a lot to learn from the Japanese people. This culture has permeated the hearts of the Japanese people

For example:

Yamaguchi Momoe, who suddenly retreated from the entertainment industry at the height of its success

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Osamu Dazai, and Mishima Yukio, who chose to commit suicide at the height of the writer's popularity

And the birth of the "thing of sorrows" has a great deal to do with Japan's geography

And the birth of "thing of sorrows" has a great deal to do with Japan's geography.

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, seashores, streams, hot springs, and waterfalls

At the same time, volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tsunamis, typhoons, and wars are commonplace

Japanese people have seen for years that beauty disappears in an instant

And since the introduction of Buddhism

this notion has grown stronger

The idea of "material sorrow" is a common one, but it is also an important one. "The pursuit of "fleeting beauty" and "eternal serenity"

The pursuit of life's fleeting splendor is the very essence of "material sorrow". "

It is precisely because of the penetration of "material sadness" into people's lives

that people have been able to rise again from the grief of the Great Earthquake

and take a step toward a new life of recovery.
