A Beginner's Guide to Japan: Observations and Provocations by Pico Iyer

3.0

A wonderful book of short pieces - observations really - about Japan and its people. Mainly about the people of Japan, this lovely book describes this unique culture better than anything I’ve read. Pico Iyer married a Japanese woman and is a great travel writer. Read this in preparation and during our trip to Japan. Everything he wrote is so true.
