Описание книги

This friendly guide offers concise but detailed demystifications of more than 85 aspects of ancient and modern Japan. It can be read in sequence, or just dipped into, depending on the moment’s need. Explanations go much deeper than a typical travel guide and cover 1,500 years of history and culture, everything from geisha to gangsters, haiku to karaoke, the sun goddess to the shogunate . . . and anime to Zen.

Farm, a more casual eatery that focuses on “exotic” Western vegetables like kale and arugula. It recently opened a branch in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
