A Hundred Things Japanese

This important book offers some original and perceptive answers to the question: What are Japan and the Japanese really like? “A Hundred Things Japanese” selects, defines, and describes a hundred different subjects — all emphatically a part of Japan— ranging from kinds of food and styles of clothing and architecture to customs, pastimes, aesthetic values and social relationships. The result is a unique portrait of Japanese society.
