About the book: 1977 / The author of the book, V. Dunaev, who worked in Japan for a long time as a correspondent for APN, does not pretend to consistently disclose the socio-political problems of Japan. But the mosaic character of this book, the variety of life situations, human destinies, personal observations and impressions of the author - all this ultimately allows us to make quite deep generalizations and expand our knowledge about Japan and the Japanese.
