A particularly fresh copy of a literary observation of Japan, its people and customs, as viewed by an American fluent in Japanese and long a resident of Japan. Per the jacket blurb, Douglas Haring's effort is to provide a favorable, humanistic view of the "time-worn, journalistic the Yellow Menace." A handsome piece of book production.
