Query: A unique perspective, relative today

I read this in conjunction with a book about Wabi-sabi and I would recommend doing the same. It is a unique, slightly dated, perspective on Japanese culture by a Japanese novelist / philosopher. I say dated because he literally talks about Japanese culture in a time of no electricity and makes several near-racist speculations. But it is a great account of the time and an important transitional phase that Japanese culture undertook: the period of Westernization.It is enlightening to read as you will find yourself agreeing with many things, such as: why are western bathrooms so well lit? Why are we so carefree in our use of electricity and light when it is not only wasteful but can actively make spaces and objects ugly?--I know that's abstract, but that's why you should read the book.
