Title: Japanese reader says, "Two Mt.Fujis Up!( two thumbs up)
Review: As a Japanese, I've had a preconceived idea that non-Japanese people can't write or understand about Japanese culture. In beginning, I wasn't interested in this book, even though the book was already on the million sellers' list. However, when I picked and little peek on this book at a bookstore, that preconcieved idea which I had were immidiately gone from my mind. I bought the book right away. Since then, I couldn't stop reading until the end. The story is great and smooth toward the end. The author must had done research very hard and carefully. Because understanding Kyoto's culture is more difficult than anywhere in Japan. He understood their mentality and culture very acculately. I recommend this book as a text for anyone who want to study or understant our culture.
