Wrong about Japan: A Father's Journey with His Son
A personal and witty exploration of two cultures, this memoir-cum-travelogue charts the journey of a father and son as they navigate their shared fascination with Japanese Manga and anime. Led by their guide Takashi, they search for meaning in art forms that hold a huge popular appeal across generations.
From Manhattan to Tokyo, they uncover the hidden puzzles and meanings behind kabuki theatre, post-war robot craze, Commodore Perry, Godzilla, and more. A fascinatingly personal and moving account of two very different cultures, Wrong about Japan is a compelling read for anyone interested in Japanese history and heritage.
