Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful combination of traditional inspiration with contemporary elegance. The sensibility of interior design firm Nickey Kehoe ranges from minimal to maximal, quiet to baroque, but always seeks to express the ephemeral feeling of a space. Designers Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe are fascinated by how a room can come together to express its own persona, as though the design "just happened." Describing themselves as object-obsessed observers, Nickey and Kehoe pay keen attention to their clients' passions, preferences, and beloved pieces, juxtaposing elements and styles in deceptively simple ways. The result is interior design that appears as if it were a personal collection randomly put together, when in fact it is the product of their very mindful curating. Nickey Kehoe's studied but unfussy design is elegant but never staid, proud but humble, full of detail but resplendent with negative space. And then they add a bit of the unexpected--a combination of layered patterns and palettes, different time periods, humorous gestures, clever lighting--any element that keeps their impeccable sense of balance from becoming predictable or formulaic. This collection of residential interiors is for the curious, for lovers of studied but unfussy design, and for those who appreciate being surrounded by beautiful things with a story to tell.

Download or read book The Halo of Golden Light written by Asuka Sango and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering study of the shifting status of the emperor within court society and the relationship between the state and the Buddhist community during the Heian period (794–1185), Asuka Sango details the complex ways in which the emperor and other elite ruling groups employed Buddhist ritual to legitimate their authority. Although considered a descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu, the emperor used Buddhist idiom, particularly the ideal king as depicted in the Golden Light Sūtra, to express his right to rule. Sango’s book is the first to focus on the ideals presented in the sūtra to demonstrate how the ritual enactment of imperial authority was essential to justifying political power. These ideals became the basis of a number of court-sponsored rituals, the most important of which was the emperor’s Misai-e Assembly. Sango deftly traces the changes in the assembly’s format and status throughout the era and the significant shifts in the Japanese polity that mirrored them. In illuminating the details of these changes, she challenges dominant scholarly models that presume the gradual decline of the political and liturgical influence of the emperor over the course of the era. She also compels a reconsideration of Buddhism during the Heian as “state Buddhism” by showing that monks intervened in creating the state’s policy toward the religion to their own advantage. Her analysis further challenges the common view that Buddhism of the time was characterized by the growth of private esoteric rites at the expense of exoteric doctrinal learning. The Halo of Golden Light draws on a wide range of primary sources—from official annals and diaries written by courtiers and monks to ecclesiastical records and Buddhist texts—many of them translated or analyzed for the first time in English. In so doing, the work brings to the surface surprising facets in the negotiations between religious ideas and practices and the Buddhist community and the state.

Download or read book Golden Light written by Thomas Rose Lake and published by Down the Shore Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golden Light: The 1878 Diary of Captain Thomas Rose Lake offers a first-hand view of 19th century life on the mid-Atlantic coast through the words of a young sea captain, Thomas Rose Lake. It is a maritime and social history unlike any other. From plainspoken entries in the captain's diary (laboriously written in the quiet of home and in the pitching aftercabin of a sloop) was born an exquisitely detailed, fascinating picture of a vanished America and a way of life. Expanded into its current form -- with enlightening essay footnotes by author James Kirk -- the book is a wondrous vehicle for travelling back to 1878. In what John T. Cunningham calls a treasure trove of New Jersey Shore happenings just after the Civil War, we set sail in the coasting trade from home port near Atlantic City to New York City and Virginia. At the center of Lake's life is the Golden Light, the coasting sloop that provided much of the family's living. The ship -- one of the trailer trucks of their age -- carried oysters to New York, but also New Jersey clams, fish oil, or potatoes and Virginia oysters. We are given accounts of Lake's days: working on the ship, planting, harvesting, working on the oyster platforms, or helping in the family store. And his social life: names of girl friends, oyster suppers, pick nicks, beach parties, trips by train to Philadelpfia, or his time in New York, where he attended the theatre or went up town to see the Fashens. This was the closing of the age of sail and the agrarian era in America, and in many ways the end of a national innocence. In its pages is the final cry of a way of life which, for better or worse, would return no more. As such, the diary is apoignant vignette -- an ambrotype faded at the edges but with the central portrait clear -- of a young man's happiness, simplicity, and struggle, writes Kirk. It must give us pause. Publication Date: February 2003
