"An essential addition to all collections with a strong emphasis on world literature and Japanese history." —Library Journal

We mourn the passing of author and acclaimed film critic and historian Donald Richie. Perhaps the most influential writer on Japan in the 20th century, Richie influenced generations of Japanologists and commented on design and cultural trends from Japan long before they reached the West. He will be missed, but his books remain.

Now back in stock! Yes, we have gone back to press to release the 3rd printing of this important and already influential book. Stay tuned for forthcoming special offers and events!
