The Japan Journals: 1947-2004 by Donald Richie, Leza Lowitz

scheu's review

4.0

I entered into this book, nearly 60 years of Donald Richie's journals, without any preconceptions or expectations - I had no idea who the man was. I think this worked to my benefit. In addition to some great observations of Japanese culture and the changes he witnessed over six decades, the book is an interesting sex-and-gender study as you piece together the author's self-discovery from his words both implicit and explicit.

Many thanks to Tosh for the recommendation!
