TAYUTAU 揺蕩う — Keine Meditation, Keine Achtsamkeit – Von Mono Japan I
Hatten Sie schon einmal das Gefühl, dass Tagträumen Zeitverschwendung ist? Auf Englisch nennt man es spacing out. Nichts tun. Zeit vergeuden.
Doch vor 1.300 Jahren hatten die Japaner einen anderen Namen dafür. „Tayutau“ — treiben.“ Der Raum zwischen Wellen und Wolken, besungen im Man’yōshū.

From the poetic joys of the "Manyoshu" to the melancholy depths of "The Tale of Genji," how do Japan’s ancient traditions of “leaving the world” resonate with today’s "hikikomori" phenomenon. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/17/japan/history/genji-manyoshu-poetry-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #history #thetaleofgenji #manyoshu #history #naraperiod #heianperiod

The 'Manyoshu,' Japan's foundational poetry anthology, contrasts starkly with the Bible's moral rigor, sin and divine judgment. It evokes a simpler, Eden-like existence, untouched by wrath or guilt. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/15/japan/history/manyoshu-japan-christianity-bible/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #history #manyoshu #bible

flowers blossoming
in autumn fields-
when I count them on my fingers
they then number seven
秋の野に咲きたる花を
指および折りかき数ふれば七種ななくさの花-Yamanoue-no-Okura (山上憶良 660–733).

In an exchange of letters, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud discussed human nature when it comes to why people go to war. How does Japan fit in? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/18/japan/history/war-culture-japan-manyoshu-jingu/ #japan #history #jomonperiod #yayoiperiod #jingu #manyoshu #nihonshoki

It is thought the origin of the 'Aki-no-Nanakusa' can be traced to 2 poems by Yamanoue-no-Okura (山上憶良/山於億良 660–733?). Both are featured in the Man'yōshū (万葉集), the oldest extant collection of Japanese waka (poetry in Classical Japanese), compiled in the Nara period.
