Absolutely love this book. The author reveals a level of access to Japan that few experience. Obviously, he loves Japan, and much of the commentary is recognizable, yet insightful. Keep in mind though that some topics like kabuki or places like Iya Valley are far from daily experience for most Japanese. Kerr's Japan is one of many, and it's a wonderful place.

The obligatory China or Japan chapter. Is Japan unique in its uniqueness? Or is its obsession with Japeneseness unique? Lots of questions, limited answers in this chapter that blows a bit hot and cold. Also wished for a little less namedropping.
