Description
Lost Japan: A Last Glimpse of Beautiful Japan This poignant and deeply personal book offers a unique insight into Japan's landscape, culture, and history. Originally written in Japanese, it is a vivid and passionate account of the author's experiences in Japan over the course of thirty years. The book is a love letter to a country and culture that is both familiar and yet, in many ways, unrecognizable. Through his story, the author draws on his experiences with Kabuki, his initiation into Tokyo's business world, and his discovery of a hidden valley that became his home. However, the book is also a lament for the Japan of old, a country that is struggling to come to terms with its environmental and cultural destruction. A new preface adds depth and complexity to this powerful work. Alex Kerr's Lost Japan is a thought-provoking and deeply moving exploration of a country on the brink of change.
