This is a good reading or studying copy and has been verified that all pages are legible. 100% satisfaction guaranteed! --- Kyo Cho's comparative cultural history traces how ideals of feminine beauty in China and Japan were formed and how they changed over time, read through literary and artistic portrayals of beautiful women. It is translated from the Japanese original, Bijo towa nanika: Nitchu bijin no bunkashi. A prologue and epilogue frame chapters on favored appearances, feared beauties, the rhetoric of representation, and beauty as a construct. Further chapters set Chinese verse and prose beside Japanese literature, follow how aesthetic views echoed between the two cultures, and treat Edo culture as a filter. The last chapter, "Until Naomi Was Born," follows Western influence on Japan. The text discusses bound feet in China and blackened teeth in Japan, and the modern rise of the double eyelid and slenderness as standards. Illustrated, with bibliography and index.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. While a slender body is a prerequisite for beauty today, plump women were considered ideal in Tang Dynasty China and Heian-period Japan. Starting around the Southern Song period in China, bound feet symbolized the attractiveness of women. But in Japan, shaved eyebrows and blackened teeth long were markers of loveliness.For centuries, Japanese culture was profoundly shaped by China, but in complex ways that are only now becoming apparent. In this first full comparative history of the subject, Cho Kyo explores changing standards of feminine beauty in China and Japan over the past two millennia. Drawing on a rich array of literary and artistic sources gathered over a decade of research, he considers which Chinese representations were rejected or accepted and transformed in Japan. He then traces the introduction of Western aesthetics into Japan starting in the Meiji era, leading to slowly developing but radical changes in representations of beauty. Through fiction, poetry, art, advertisements, and photographs, the author vividly demonstrates how criteria of beauty differ greatly by era and culture and how aesthetic sense changed in the course of extended cultural transformations that were influenced by both China and the West.
