I like this book for it's simplicity and artwork. I've read lots of incomplete descriptions of the Japanese bath and wanted to see the whole process.
I have one problem with it that maybe someone noticed and can tell me if I'm wrong: in step #4 he washes, in step #5 he gets in the bath, then in step #6 he gets out of the bath, in steps #7 and #8 he washes up again, and in step #9 he's back in the tub soaking. I thought you just washed thoroughly and then got into the tub to soak once, then on to the next person. Is this right? Is a page out of order in my book? Or maybe I'm too tired, lol.

I've been to Japan several times. Been to the baths several times. Luckily, I had a good friend to guide me even the first time. So no surprises in this little book - and it is small/short. But I got it mostly so family and friends - who can't appreciate the experience without doing it - might understand a little more.

I bathe everyday. Imagining myself in a tub in outer space was worth the price of the book itself.

This book is a miniature classic - almost 20 years in print - that will appeal most to those who are already in love with Japan and the Japanese experience in general. Although it seems a slight piece of work, it is informative as well as beautiful. Just picking it up at the end of a stressful day will transport your imagination to Japan and induce some of the calm of the bathing experience itself.

I found this book to be very thin physically and in content. I was hoping to find out more about this very Japanese custom. The line drawings are adequate and complement the text. If you have a friend who is interested in things Japanese it would make an inexpensive gift, but I was disappointed in it overall.

丸尾末広イラスト。全文英語。日本式風呂の入り方!
Reviewed in Japan on February 24, 2011Verified Purchase
外国人の方が、日本の風呂に入る際に戸惑わないように制作されたマニュアル本のようです。
私は丸尾末広のファンなので買ってしまいました。
内容は全文英語。簡単な英語なのでそれほど苦にはなりません。
40ページほどの薄い本で、2ページ1章で全12章です。
片面に英文が入り、対面に丸尾末広のイラストが入ります。
丸尾末広のイラストは計12点と言う事になります。
もちろん、丸尾末広とはいえ、エロやグロはないのでご安心ください。
主人公は男性ですし、局部描写も血も出ません。
単に、大正ロマン風の絵柄として選ばれたようです。
英文の内容は、家で風呂に入りたいな。と思うところから始まり、
持ち物、掛かり湯をはじめとする湯を使う礼儀作法、湯の中で宇宙を感じる事、
内湯などのさまざまなお風呂など、銭湯のマナーを知らない若者が一度読んでも良い本かもしれません。
近頃は外国人の方が、よく勉強していて、箸の使い方など日本人より上手い時があります。
家のシャワーになれた若者は、外国人に笑われないように、一読する事も必要なのかもしれませんね。
