Editorial Review Book Description The Land of the Rising Sun is shining brightly across the American cultural landscape. Recent films such as Lost in Translation and Memoirs of a Geisha seem to have made everyone an expert on Japan, even if theyve never been there. But the only way for a Westerner to get to know the real Japan is to become a part of it. Kate T. Williamson did just that, spending a year experiencing, studying, and reflecting on her adopted home. She brings her keen observations to us in A Year in Japan, a dramatically different look at a delightfully different way of life. Avoiding the usual clichésJapans polite society, its unusual fashion trends, its crowded subwaysWilliamson focuses on some lesserknown aspects of the country and culture. In stunning watercolors and piquant texts, she explains the terms used to order various amounts of tofu, the electric rugs found in many Japanese homes, and how to distinguish a maiko from a geisha.

Editorial Review Book Description When Gregory starts school, he's afraid that the kids won't like him. That morning, he works hard writing the letters of the Japanese alphabet and is glad when it's time for lunch. But he's embarrassed when he takes out his peanut butter sandwich and sees everyone else eating rice and soybeans. Gregory wonders if he'll ever fit in. Customer Reviews (4)
A Good One
Awesome book!!!
"Adjusting to a New Culture" The author has depicted loving parents who do all they can to help their son fit in to a new way of life.The surprise comes in the end when Gregory's classmates learn "the way they do it in America." A great book to encourage children to value another culture.Adult and child will gain information about Japan that could lead to a whole unit of study.But what I liked best was the author's theme of love and friendship, where there could be fear and alienation.The principles of the book could be applied to the study of any culture.

Editorial Review Book Description Richard J. Samuels demonstrates that over the last decade, a revisionistgroup of Japanese policymakers has consolidated power. The Koizumigovernment of the early 2000s took bold steps to position Japan's militaryto play a global security role. It left its successor, the Abe government,to further define and legitimate Japan's new grand strategy, a project wellunder way-and vigorously contested both at home and in the region. Securing Japan begins by tracing the history of Japan's grandstrategy--from the Meiji rulers, who recognized the intimate connectionbetween economic success and military advance, to the Konoye Consensus thatled to Japan's defeat in World War II and the postwar compact with theUnited States. Samuels shows how the ideological connections across thesewars and agreements help explain today's debate. He then explores Japan'srecent strategic choices, arguing that Japan will ultimately strike abalance between national strength and national autonomy, a position thatwill allow it to exist securely without being either too dependent on theUnited States or too vulnerable to threats from China. Samuels's insights into Japanese history, society, and politics have beenhoned over a distinguished career and enriched by interviews withpolicymakers and original archival research. Securing Japan is a definitiveassessment of Japanese security policy and its implications for the futureof East Asia. Customer Reviews (1)
