Greetings Shakuhachi People,
I'm writing to share a link to my discovery of an invaluable on-line =
Japanese dictionary named JAANUS, which stands for Japanese Architecture =
and Art Net Users System. An apparent twenty year effort. It may not =
contain many shakuhachi related terms yet I have found it to be a =
treasure trove of Japanese cultural and impenitently human ... wisdom. =
I include a paragraph from their introduction.
=20
Peace to =
the Planet,

This dictionary contains approximately 8000 terms related to traditional =
Japanese architecture and gardens, painting, sculpture and =
art-historical iconography from approximately the 1st century A.D. to =
the end of the Edo period (1868). Terms from related fields such as =
lacquer, ceramics, textiles and metalwork have been included where they =
are considered to be of general interest and/or impact on the principal =
fields of architecture, painting and sculpture. These definitions are =
not translations from any one Japanese monolingual dictionary, but have =
been collated from a range of specialist sources and scholarly =
publications, and from direct observation and study. Many have never =
before been defined in English.
