For centuries, the unique culture of Japan has enchanted Westerners and other foreign observers. Although there was a strong and growing interest in scholarly studies of Japan throughout the nineteenth century, most of these investigations were conducted by outsiders with scant knowledge of Japanese culture. The Japanese Spirit collects a series of lectures delivered at the University of London by Japanese-born scholar Yoshisaburo Okakura, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the essence of Japan.
