The Tourist and the Real Japan - 1970

"Author of many books on Japan, Boye De Mente knows the land and the people well, and never seems to have succumbed to those twin ailments which plague the foreign resident, indiscriminate affection and possessive degradation. Consequently, his writings on the country are sane, balanced, and of great help to the newcomer to the country... De Mente's book... is distinguished by an objective affection which is both just and winning." - Japan Times I love these old vintage Tuttle books.
