Reviews
"Viewed any which way, Japan through the eyes of Donald Richie is an interesting and rewarding place to read about. This is the third collection of Richie's essays...and yet another reminder that he is a master of the short essay and a thought-provoking guide to his subject. The spare style and distinctive phrasing grow on the reader and are apt for unveiling and imparting...These elegantly brief essays are packed with insights that one needs to unravel and contemplate at one's leisure."--The Japan Times
