Living Japanese Style 2 - Nihon e toki Jiten

About this product:

When you visit Japan for the first time, don't expect to see the streets full of "samurai" and "geisha." The lifestyle of the average Japanese has today become almost completely westernized. But beneath Japan's fast-moving, ultra-modern exterior, its unique culture and customs, shaped by centuries of tradition, live on. This book is designed to help both residents and visitors to overcome cultural bafflement and get to know the "real Japan." Through pictures and explanations, it introduces many interesting aspects of modern Japanese life, and gives advice on how to behave in a variety of social situations. A publication created by JTB Publishing (JTB being Japan's leading Traveling Agency), this pocket book of information delves into situations you'll encounter such as shopping, using the bank, going to the public bath, going to parties, taking a sight seeing bus and much more. Written completely in English with an index to help you find what you need quickly. (instock)
