3.0 out of 5 stars
Detailed analysis of Real Japan,
By "antigone@canada.com" (Kagoshima, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Japan and Popular Culture (Paperback)
Whittier Treat has obviously done his homework, it is obvious that painstaking research has gone into this book. This, naturally, means that at times it can be very dry. One wonders how the wonderfully colourful lives of his subjects can be so two-dimensional on paper. However dry this book is, it is a must-read for anyone who is interested in comtemporary Japan, just because it is full of such detail. One cannot hope to understand the mind of the Japanese youngster without having some idea of the images they have been bombarded with from birth. This book gives excellent analysis. Just remember to drink lots of caffeine if you are planning to take it in large doses.
