We Japanese - The Customs, Manners, Ceremonies, Festivals, Arts and Crafts of Japan Besides Numerous Other Subjects (Hardcover, Combined ed)

This delightful popular encyclopedia of Japanese culture, history and society contains answers to all the questions that anyone curious about Japan might ask. First written in 1934 and subsequently expanded into three volumes, all of which are contained in this work, it is a treasury of exotic facts and useful information, profusely illustrated with charming line drawings and period photographs. Written with great style, this work brings traditional Japan to life in a way that no contemporary guide book can, explaining all the curious features of daily life that visitors to Japan still see, such as the lucky cat figures, the blinds over teahouse doors, the symbolism of guardian figures at the gates of temples, and the significance of Japan's many picturesque festivals, as well as practices such as acupuncture, incense burning, fortune-telling, and many more. "We Japanese" is a passport to the timeless essence of Japan.
