Aha!
A great collection of articles explaining the differences between the Western and Japanese points of view when it comes to Language.
As a lover of Japanese culture, language and people, and as one who has traveled to Japan, I found this book both entertaining and enlightening.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in studying the language or in making sense of Japanese cinema, publications and traditions.
