Readers will learn more about:Chochin—decorative lanterns seen everywhere from shrines and temples to izakayaFugu—the very carefully prepared delicacy of poisonous blowfishJ-pop—the now widely popular musical genreKaroshi—literally translated as "overwork death"Omiai—the Japanese version of an arranged marriageAnd much more! The beautiful full-color illustrations bring these ideas, places and objects to life—making it the perfect addition to any Japanophiles library or a fun and useful introductory guide for a first-time visitor to Japan.
