A Beginner's Guide to Japan: Observations and Provocations

by Pico Iyer - £8.99  Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (2020)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781526611512 | ISBN 10: 1526611511

Winner of the Edward Stanford Travel Memoir of the Year 2020
 
How does a sushi bar explain a Japanese poem?
Why do Japanese couples plan matching outfits for their honeymoon?
Why are so many things in Japan the opposite of what we expect?

 
After thirty-two years in Japan, Pico Iyer knows the country as few others can. In A Beginner's Guide to Japan, he dashes from baseball games to love-hotels and from shopping malls to zen temple gardens to find fresh ways of illuminating his adopted home.
 
Playful and surreptitiously profound, this is a guidebook to a Japan few have ever seen before.
