About this product
Product Information
An enchanting and fascinating insight into Japan's landscape, culture, history and future Originally written in Japanese, this passionate, vividly personal book draws on the author's experiences in Japan over thirty years. Alex Kerr brings to life the ritualized world of Kabuki, retraces his initiation into Tokyo's boardrooms during the heady Bubble Years, and tells the story of the hidden valley that became his home. But the book is not just a love letter. Haunted throughout by nostalgia for the Japan of old, Kerr's book is part paean to that great country and culture, part epitaph in the face of contemporary Japan's environmental and cultural destruction. Winner of Japan's 1994 Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize.Product Identifiers

Lost Japan a little surprising
This is a very detailed and in depth book highlighting areas of Japan which rather surprisingly the Japanese do not seem to appreciate in their own culture. Written from the perspective of somebody who lived and now lives in Japan and has experienced other eastern cultures it is well considered, detailed and full of depth and understanding.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
