Introductory Note

This is the third collection of my essays on culture and style in contemporary Japan. The first was A Lateral View (Japan Times, Ltd., 1987 / Stone Bridge Press, 1992) and the second was Partial Views (Japan Times, Ltd., 1995). This third volume, Viewed Sideways, contains eleven essays from the earlier collections and twenty-six that have never before been collected. For this edition some of the essays have been edited and expanded or shortened. These thirty-seven essays are intended to offer a cross-section view of Japan’s enormous cultural variety.
