Over 50 years of essays on Japan from premier film critic, essayist, and novelist, Donald Richie.
This definitive new collection of essays by the writer Time calls "the dean of arts critics in Japan" ranges from Kyogen drama to the sex shows of Shinjuku, from film and Buddhism to Butoh and retro rock ''n'' roll, from wasei eigo (Japanese/English) to mizushobai, the fine art of pleasing.
Spanning some fifty years, these thirty-seven essays—most never anthologized before—offer cross-sections of Japan''s enormous cultural power. They reflect the unique perspective of a man attempting to understand his adopted home.
The writings of Donald Richie—film critic, reviewer, novelist, and essayist—have influenced generations of Japan observers around the world.
