This entertaining and endlessly surprising book takes us on an
exploration into every aspect of Japanese society from the most
public to the most intimate. A series of meticulous investigations
gradually uncovers the multi-faceted nature of a country and people
who are even more extraordinary than they seem. Our journey
encompasses religion, ritual, martial arts, manners, eating,
drinking, hot baths, geishas, family, home, singing, wrestling,
dancing, performing, clans, education, aspiration, sexes,
generations, race, crime, gangs, terror, war, kindness, cruelty,
money, art, imperialism, emperor, countryside, city, politics,
government, law and a language that varies according to whom you
are speaking. Clear-sighted, persistent, affectionate,
unsentimental and honest - Alan Macfarlane shows us Japan as it has
never been seen before.
