Japan in 100 Words Zusammenfassung

Japan in 100 Words: From Anime to Zen: Discover the Essential Elements of Japan Ornella Civardi

As its title suggests, this book captures the essence of Japanese life and culture in 100 words. From well-known concepts like zen, kawaii and anime to their lesser-known counterparts waiting to be discovered by the West, Japan in 100 Words covers it all.

Readers will learn more about:
  • Chochin-decorative lanterns seen everywhere from shrines and temples to izakaya
  • Fugu-the very carefully prepared delicacy of poisonous blowfish
  • J-pop-the now widely popular musical genre
  • Karoshi-literally translated as overwork death
  • Omiai-the Japanese version of an arranged marriage
  • And 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.

Japan in 100 Words Bewertungen

Each entry is accompanied by a clearly-written, up-to-date description that covers history and context...This would be an excellent book for those who are not familiar with Japan, and an even better textbook for junior-high and high school students in social studies programs. -Kyoto Journal
