Japan Tour 1965 captures a remarkable moment in Alan Watts’ journey - eight lectures given during his time in Japan, where East and West met not just culturally but philosophically. In these talks, Watts explores the relationship between man and nature, the structure of religious experience, and the poetic paradoxes of Zen. Drawing from Buddhist and Taoist thought, while simultaneously addressing Western audiences, this series moves through cosmic questions of reincarnation, language, science, and sacred storytelling. It is a bridge between worlds, delivered with the clarity and reverence of someone standing within the threshold.
