• Sommario/riassunto: Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this book is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
