The copy is in a very good and clean condition without markings. - Table of Contents -- Foreword by Edward G. Seidensticker -- Preface -- The Proverbs -- List of Proverbs with English Equivalents -- (excerpt:) Foreword by Edward G. Seidensticker: The primary definition of "proverb" in the Oxford English Dictionary is very careful: "A short pithy saying in common and recognized use; a concise sentence, often metaphorical or alliterative in form, which is held to express some truth ascertained by experience or observation and familiar to all; an adage, a wise saw." The three words before "express" follow the advice of Atama kakushite shiri kakusazu (English equivalent: "Protect yourself at all points"): foresee challenges and attacks and take measure against them. If the Ox- ford did as the small desk dictionaries I have with me do, and dispensed with the qualification, then the definition would be in error. Sometimes proverbs fly in the face of "experience or observation," and some. times a proverb will contradict another one. Kyo no yume, Osaka no yume (no. 50) is vague and subject to several interpreta- tions, some not completely in accord with common sense. Several proverbs advising caution are contradicted by Koketsu ni ira- zumba koji o ezu (no. 88), urging us to trespass upon a tigress's den. Proverbs are what people are always saying. In this they are akin to clichés, but they are different from clichés in that they have a touch of poetry. They make lively use of imagery and they are sensitive to the music of language. They say the things that people think important in ways that people remember. They express common concerns. So a collection of proverbs is a compact treatise on the values of culture. Matching sets of proverbs from two cultures make a treatise in comparative sociology, or cultural anthropology [.]. ISBN 9780804816250 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 180. Artikel-Nr. 1252808
