No geishas, no pagodas; real life in rural Japan. September 3, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a collection if interviews with old Japanese men and women, remembering their life experiences in one particular area of pre-war Japan. The author is obviously very close to these people, as they speak freely and intimately about family, work, and hardship. This is a glimpse of every-day Japan in a past era that we rarely see. The strength of the average hard-working Japanese men and women is what shines through.
