프라임 일본문화정보

일본은 어떠한 나라인가? 일본에 관심이 있는 사람이라면 대부분이 가지는 의문일 것이다. 일본을 알기 위해서는 일본어문학과 일본학 등의 지식이 필요하다. 그런데 이보다 더 쉽게 일반적으로 접할 수 있는 것이 일본문화라고 생각된다. 그러면 일본문화란 무엇일까라는 의문이 또 든다. 무엇을 일본문화라고 할까? 일반적으로 문화란 한 민족이 오랜 시간을 거치면서 이루어온 물질적, 정신적 산물이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 이런 관점에서 타문화와 비교되는 일본적인 것들을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 이 책에는 일본이라는 열도 속에서 일본문화를 만들어 온 일본인의 전통문화와 현대문화에 이르기까지 알아두면 좋을 것이라고 생각되는 내용들로 구성하였다.
