Have you read a great story with a disappointing ending? How would you change it? For me, « Killing Commendatore » was really interesting and at the same time, 500 pages! But the ending wasn’t what I expected after reading all those pages!

My wife found an interesting phrase about “Art in Japan before Meiji” in Haruki Murakami’s book. His book is fiction so it may not be as accurate as the academic essay, but the world-famous novelist explaining the concept of Art similar to what I have been trying to communicate is pretty amazing. So here it is. What do you think? ☆ (It is from the audiobook transcripted, so it may be not exact… please tell me if you find an error. I humbly adjust it.) ☆ Cited from Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami (2018) ☆ Meiji Restoration: until then the term “art” did not exist… just like up until then the name of country Japan was hardly ever used. With the appearance of Western art from abroad the concept of art was born as a way of asserting something that could be distinguished as standing in opposition to Western art. What had existed until then in various forms and styles was for the sakes of simplicity lumped together under the new name of Japanese painting… what had been everyday designs, arts, and crafts designs such as paintings on folding screens… were now set in frames. To put it in other way, items done in a natural style as part of everyday life were now accommodated to the western system and elevated to the status of works of art. ☆ 村上春樹著の「騎士団長殺し」、読了された方はいらっしゃいますでしょうか?妻が英訳版を読んでいて、「淳の言うアートに関する描写が会ったけど?」っていう流れで、オーディオブックから書き取りで引用です。(なので間違ってたらごめんなさい)。もし読了された方がいて、「明治維新以前はアートという概念は存在しなかった」という一節があるのですが、もし発見された方がいたら教えて貰えると本当に助かります。日本で読みたいけど単行本は高いし遠い……。ちなみに、僕のブログを読んで貰えればわかるかもですが、それなりにハルキストです(でした)。 ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoArt #JapaneseArt #HarukiMurakami #KillingCommendatore #刺し子 #村上春樹 #騎士団長殺し #日本のアート https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmFW2JlFfk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qj30jo07tq82

✨Caption✨ Who is an author you are intimidated by? 🍃 Well, there are certainly a few that intimidate me, but I need to mention that Haruki Murakami tops that list. One of Japan's leading contemporary authors, Murakami has a very solid & dedicated fanbase who loves everything from his magical realism &his beautiful prose. 🍃 But then there are his niggles. I have seen some common theme amongst his niggles, pointing out Murakami's portrayal of women as misogynistic, those odd sexual scenes, and confusing style.Needless to say his work is quite polarising and controversial. 🍃 I have a copy of killing Commendatore on my shelf which I'm terrified yet excited to read soon, I adore his writing styles S I have read Murakami earlier as well. I hope I'll still be in love with his writing style. What are your thoughts on Murakami? Literally overrated or genius.?

My thoughts
This is definitely one of my most favourite book of all time. I always say to anyone who have never read Murakami before that they should read ‘Killing Commendatore’ as their first book because it is the most ‘Murakami’ story ever -if that makes any sense. Killing Commendatore is the name of the painting that the protagonists discover in the mountain house he is renting from a famous painter called Tomohiko Amada. The unnamed protagonists move away from Tokyo after his wife Tuzu leaves him after 6 years of marriage. The protagonist is a professional painter who is known for his good portrait work. The painting ‘Killing commendatore’ initiates a series of strange and mysterious events. Like with the other work that I have reviewed ‘Norwegian wood’ Murakami is amazing at story telling. One of my most favourite aspects is how he is able to smoothly make the plot seem realistic but at the same time incorporate supernatural elements. One thing that stood out to be was the way he describes painting as the protagonists spends a lot of time painting portraits. I never thought the description and the process of painting would be interesting but in this case it is. However, there are a few aspects which I didn’t like as much. Firstly, the book is around 500 pages and tend to be a bit repetitive, which I personally didn’t mind but if you do read it you have been warned. Another element is the odd description of every female character’s breast. This is something I have noticed have happened in a lot of Murakami’s work. Seriously, almost every female character that is introduced in all of his works he always describes the way that their boobs look. Which I guess is fine, but in this book he describes the breasts of a young girl and there are number of scenes where the young girl talks to the protagonists about when her breasts will grow. I just found this so unnecessary as it doesn’t add anything to the plot and could be left out. However, other than that I really enjoyed the novel, like I said it is one of my personal faves but the novel do lose some points due to the repitition and the breast element.
Later!
