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.
