This book is not a guidebook: it doesn't list "what to see in Japan." But it will make you look away from the temples and gardens to spot around you what real guidebooks don't talk about. In pictures, discover the workings of the social order, the causes of urban anarchy, the meaning of the cherry blossom celebration. The incredible quality of the services. The art of eating and (especially) drinking. Learn to unravel the four writing systems and survive in the subway. Visit a council house and love hotels. And also sense a country in the process of changing.
