In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

4.0

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki is obsessed with shadows and writes beautifully about them in this essay. And for me as someone who is into photography and loves how light can interact with a picture, this essay changed how I see the world a little. "We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates."
