| SS223 JAPAN -- Introduced in English and Japanese ~ Eigo de Shouwai suru Nihon |
Number in stock: 3 Weight: 450 g. Price: $26.50
Product type: Study Item

| Sure to be a popular item for those who don't know anything about the Japanese language, this easy to follow guide will help you pick up and develop your vocabulary in no time with the aid of comical and entertaining images. Although it does contain parts written both in Japanese and English, the relaxed tone of the book and easy to follow illustrations prove to be a refreshingly casual approach to learning this language with out being overwhelmed with the formalities of a text book. Split up to 6 different parts simply entitled 1) Welcome to Japan, 2) Communication, 3) Sightseeing, 4) History and Culture, 5) Food and Cooking, and 6) Japanese Life Style, it will cover and help you get through most situations throughout your travels in Japan. More than just a lesson on how to pronounce phrases and developing your vocabulary, you also get tidbits of insider information regarding the history and culture regarding some of Japan's most notable exports - the Ninja, Karate, sushi, and even Japanese nursery tales. Once you pick this book up, you can't put it down, and will want to continue reading it over and over again to make new discoveries you didn't catch initially. Highly recommended.

| Many of us are familiar with the city scape and beauty of Japan, brave towering buildings reaching for the sky, temples with their simple aesthetic to bring people to peaceful thoughts, and the streets filled with neon lights to attract the wandering eye. However, few of us know the Japan that isn't meant to be seen -- the underground constructions that are made to keep Japan running, without trying to appeal to any aesthetic, just simple function. But to be sure, there are amazing sights to be seen underneath the concrete, and photographer Hideaki Uchiyama brings them to us, his camera giving us sights unseen and giving the dark corners special intriguing beauty. From corridors of pipes amid lights, to old tunnels used for movement of troops during the war, ventilation shafts, subway lines both forgotten and those under construction, man-sized icicles in a huge refrigerator... all powerful images from below the ground that the general public will never see. It's hard to imagine that these are not sets from some cyberpunk sci-fi movie but real constructions with a practical purpose. This is an incredible photobook with large pages, something to stir the imaginations of anyone who picks up this 160 page full color hardcover coffee table book. For photography fans and for anyone who has ever held a curiosity of Japan. An index in the back has explanations in Japanese where the photos are taken from which are just as amazing as the photos themselves. 13" x 10".

This is an incredible photobook with large pages, something to stir the imaginations of anyone who picks up this 135 page full color hardcover coffee table book. For photography fans and for anyone who has ever held a curiosity of Japan. In his second volume, Hideaki once again explores the vast underworld of Japan finding beauty and wonder where the light of the sun never shines. Again, this book carries a lot of power, including: the inside of the Bentenshu, a memorial for unborn children which houses their remains; a sewage trunk line that reminds Hideaki of a "futuristic prison"; a WWII underground trench where thousands of soldiers lost their live and now inhabited by Venus fly traps; an underground pond 50m deep which houses recognizable light and much more. An index in the back describes the locations in both English and Japanese (bilingual) including impressions by Hideaki. 13" x 10".
