Description: With its Samurai past, sumo wrestling, and rich artistic heritage, Japan is a striking blend of old traditions and modern technological advances. Intertwining the strands of past and present, this book delves into folklore, politics, history, and sport, using highly detailed primary sources, including paintings, newspapers, and insightful photographs of the mythical Mt. Fuji and the woodcuts of Hiroshige. This is a richly textured book about an impressively diverse country.
