"This book provides, for the first time in English, the kind of information that allows an accurate appreciation of the meanings and quality of Japanese poems.... Mostow's reception-oriented approach in this poem-by-poem discussion inspires an excellent essay on the history of English translations of this collection." --Choice "Joshua Mostow offers a brilliant and multifaceted exploration of Japanese poetics through translations, commentaries, and both literary and visual readings of the most influential of all poem anthologies. This book penetrates to the heart of traditional Japanese aesthetics." --Stephen Addiss, University of Richmond "...a rigorous and engaging study of an extremely important Japanese text. It is filled with information and shows a real appreciation for the often unarticulated assumptions that lay behind certain understandings--both Japanese and Western--concerning meaning and significance in a work of literature. The study breaks still further ground by articulating, and in the most persuasive fashion, issues relating to text and image that are central to the Japanese arts in virtually all periods. Professor Mostow has written a book that should interest not only specialists in the fields of Japanese literature and fine arts, but virtually anyone who enjoys reading poetry in an active and thoughtful fashion." --J. Thomas Rimer, University of Pittsburgh

Kukai, or also known as Kobo Daishi (the Great Propagator) continues to be one of the most respected Japanese throughout the history of Japan. He was the founder of Japanese Shingon Buddhism, a form of Vajrayana Buddhism that He learned in China, was titled the Master of Five Brushes (Master Calligrapher) and was known for his public works projects and the founding of Mount Koya, The Center of Shingon Buddhism. This Book by Dr. Yasutoshi Murakami explains in modern language the depth of Kukai's words. They are words that are ageless based on the mind of an intellectual master. Kukai brought and developed esoteric buddhism (Mikkyo) to Japan in 806 CE. It remains almost unchanged for the last 12 Centuries. The words, rituals, and Shingon Path are as fresh Today as they were when first brought to Japan. If one wishes to understand Japan this is a good beginning for these words touch at the heart and foundation of Japanese Culture.

Fuji, Feiler teaches his students about American culture, while they teach him everything from how to properly address an envelope to how to date a Japanese girl.

When this book was originally published it was the first work of its kind to examine the way in which language is used to express the ‘myth’ of advertising slogans and other popular cultural forms. By making use of general theories from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, media studies and semiotics, the book attempts to demystify Japanese culture as it has been hitherto presented in the West, and shows how such cultural forms as ‘noodle westerns’ and high-school baseball uphold the well-known ideologies of ‘selflessness’, ‘diligence’, ‘compliance’ and ‘co-operation’ typically associated with the Japanese. Ultimately, the book poses the question: are those whom we call the Japanese ‘real’ people in their own right, or merely a nation acting out a part written for them by Western civilisation?
