For over fifty years, the Japanese-born Western-trained author of
this remarkable volume devoted himself to explaining Japanese
traditions and customs to foreigners through his newspaper columns,
talks and four short books. The all-embracing work presented here,
drawn from all these sources including revised and rearranged
versions of the books, deals with all aspects of Japanese life and
material culture -- apparel and utensils; cures and medicines;
houses and buildings; fetes and festivals; fish, birds and animals;
folk tales; food, sake and tobacco; living habits; marriage,
funerals and memorials; natural phenomena; plants and flowers;
popular beliefs and traditions; recreation and entertainment;
religious rites and social customs. With over seven hundred and
thirty separate entries, this unique volume is the definitive work
on all Japanese things.
