Canned coffee and Kimonos is Tom Fitzmaurice's memoir of the four
years he spent living and teaching in Tokyo, Japan, the biggest
city on Earth. A young man from England's rural West Country, he
was thrust into a new world for which he was completely unprepared
and which he found utterly bewildering. Tom gives an insight into
the life of an English teacher in this most fascinating of
countries and how he found his feet teaching students aged two to
ninety-one. From sitting in a robot restaurant watching a giant
metal triceratops firing multicoloured laser beams, to the quietude
of secluded and ancient mountain-top shrines on remote Japanese
islands, this is a story of coming of age in a beguiling
metropolis, of culture shock, faux pas, joy, hilarity, horror and
the steepest of learning curves. Earthquakes, hedgehog cafes,
bathing with the yakuza, love hotels, typhoons, geisha, nuclear
fallout, fascists, festivals, temples, bullet trains, karaoke,
samurai swords, sushi and sumo. This memoir has it all.
