Kitamura, Katie.
Japanese for Travellers. A Journey Through Modern Japan.
Penguin. U.K. 2007. 257pp, paperback. A Japanese-American raised in California, Katie Kitamura returns to Japan to discover the country she left behind. Travelling across this landscape, she visits middle-class gambling halls, luxury care homes and cramped apartments housing four generations under a single roof. And she wonders in which version of modern Japan she might have belonged. The Japan she discovers is an often contradictory land of Godzilla toys and war memorials, of futuristic manga characters and brightly coloured vending machines.
