| This masterfully written collection of short essays by the acknowledged Western expert on Japanese culture and film spans thirty years and ranges broadly over subjects as diverse as the Noh theater, fashion, television, Tokyo Disneyland, language, the kiss, and, of course, film. Richie's twenty-eight essays present cross-sections of Japan's enormous creative accomplishments during the nation's rise to economic and cultural power.
Donald Richie is author of The Donald Richie Reader, The Inland Sea and many other books on Japan. He has lived in Japan for over forty-five years "Masterful writing."--Asahi Evening News "Donald Richie writes about Japan with an unrivaled range, acuity, and wit. His lateral view opens up fresh perspectives on many human gestures and ways of doing art and society."--Susan Sontag |
