A concise handbook for those who do not know Japan and want to approach a very special world without trauma. I would only recommend it to absolute beginners.

Un conciso manuale per chi non conosce il Giappone e vuole avvicinarsi senza traumi ad un mondo molto particolare. Lo consiglierei solo a chi non ha letto mai niente prima a riguardo.

I received this digital ARC in exchange for a honest review.

A collection of essays on Japanese culture. It’s a great concept, but they all felt way too short. I would have preferred a deeper dive on fewer topics. However, it be a good read for travelers looking for only the basics.
