A very interesting introduction to some of Japan's most known and lesser knows traditions. This book gives you a glimpse of the culture without having you drowning in over detailed concepts. The structure aims at covering a lot of topics and give you the freedom to do your own research if needed. Perfect for those interested in Japan and wanting to have some knowledge of the culture.

Simple, easy, to the point. Can get through it after a weekend lunch.

My key takeaways:

-Treasure every moment for it will never recur.
-"How to" on essentials of Japanese life
-Food, culture etc
