Analects - New Interpretation of Chinese Classics Series 1 Yoshida Kenko Revised 29th Edition, September 20, 1990 Meiji Shoin Total 464 pages Size: H22.5cm x W16.5cm x D3.5cm ¥5200 This is a commentary on the Analects by the authority on Chinese classics, Mr. Kenko Yoshida. As Shibusawa Eiichi wrote in "The Analects and the Abacus," "The Analects is by no means a difficult academic theory. It is not something that can only be understood by scholars who read difficult things." This book embodies that idea. Unlike the intimidating name of the New Interpretation of Chinese Classics Series, each paragraph is described from the following five perspectives, so you can read it with the feeling of reading each part separately. ① Original Text ② Reading (Japanese reading) ③ Interpretation (Modern Japanese translation) Written in an easy-to-understand and careful manner. ④ Word Definitions ⑤ Additional Notes Commentary based on previous reviews and the author's views. Supplementary information to promote understanding of the content. These are the five items. This book was purchased by my father and kept at my parents' home. It seems it was a "tsundoku" (unread book). The box has some yellowing, but apart from the slight musty smell peculiar to books, the text is in good condition. However, the name stamp of the family name is stamped on the front and back cover endpapers. Please understand this before purchasing. We will carefully pack it to prevent corner damage and ship it to you.
