Book Description
“Arguably the greatest living travel writer” (Outside magazine), Pico Iyer has called Japan home for more than three decades. But, as he is the first to admit, the country remains an enigma even to its long-term residents. In A Beginner’s Guide to Japan, Iyer draws on his years of experience—his travels, conversations, readings, and reflections—to craft a playful and profound book of surprising, brief, incisive glimpses into Japanese culture. He recounts his adventures and observations as he travels from a meditation hall to a love hotel, from West Point to Kyoto Station, and from dinner with Meryl Streep to an ill-fated call to the Apple service center in a series of provocations guaranteed to pique the interest and curiosity of those who don’t know Japan—and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.

Book Description
Japanese A Practical Beginners Guide to Learn Japanese in Just 14 Days! Japanese is an East Asian Language, spoken primarily in Japan by an estimate of 125-6 million people. Although now Japanese is exclusively spoken in Japan, it was the 'Language of the Empire,' before World War two as the countries annexed by Japan such as Taiwan and Korea and some other Pacific Islands, which may result to some older generations in these countries still being able to speak this language. Japanese is also very popular with anime fans, who are spread all over the world. Anime is Japanese hand drawn or computer drawn animation. Although Japanese has no official status it is indeed a national language. This book will give you a sneak peak of the Japanese culture and society, and how the culture and society effectively help shape how the Japanese grammar shapes itself into what it is today. This book is also a big help to those people.

Book Description
An old pond; a frog jumps in: the sound of water -- Basho This comprehensive introduction to Japan's best-loved haiku poets is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn about haiku. Compiled and with commentary by renowned author and translator William Scott Wilson, the book features 26 poets and 550 haiku, exquisitely translated. Wilson takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the works of the major Japanese poets from the fifteenth century up to the present. The poets include Basho, Shiki, Buson and Issa (the "Great Four") along with other well-known practitioners of the genre such as Ryokan, Kikaku and Chora. Wilson gives his own brand-new renditions of poems that are already known as classics, and also shares with us the delightful work of a number of poets who are rarely found in English translation, such as six female poets including Chiyojo and Hisajo, as well as novelist Natsume Soseki, who, unbeknown to many, also wrote haiku. The book is divided into sections, each starting with a 2-4 page introduction to each poet, followed by a selection of that poet's haiku, in Japanese script and English translation. Online audio files are available with recordings of the poems in both English and Japanese.

Book Description
Learn Japanese In 4 Weeks Or Less! In this book you will find 17 highly-informative lessons that will help language learners achieve proficiency in the Japanese language in one month or less. Many English speakers find Japanese a difficult language to learn because it is vastly different from their mother tongue. The Japanese language uses three sets of scripts for writing and phonetics. Its grammar, vocabulary, and intonation are unique. Except for the use of Chinese Kanji in its writing system, Japanese isn't quite similar to other languages. Japanese is not that difficult to learn. It has fewer tenses, does not require subject-verb agreement, and has relatively inflexible word order. This book provides all the important strategies and techniques you will need to overcome the language barrier and typical challenges of learning the Japanese language. It was designed to provide a reliable resource material for learning the essentials of the Japanese language quickly and easily. It features grammar lessons, vocabulary listing, useful phrases, and other important language skills such as counting, telling time and date, and using color names. It uses a straightforward yet comprehensive approach to impart fundamental language concepts in a more interesting and fun way. Here is what you will find inside: Japanese Writing System And Phonetics Basic Japanese Grammar Particles Nouns Personal Pronouns Demonstrative Pronouns And Adjectives Verbs Adjectives Japanese Honorifics Asking Questions Expressing What You Want Japanese Numbers And Counters Months, Days, And Seasons Telling Time And Date Colors Talking About Yourself And Your Family Useful Phrases And Much, Much More...

Book Description
An indispensable tool for librarians who do reference or collection management, this work is a pioneering offering of expertly selected print and electronic reference tools for East Asian Studies (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). Handbook for Asian Studies Specialists: A Guide to Research Materials and Collection Building Tools is the first work to cover reference works for the main Asian area languages of China, Japan, and Korea. Several leading Asian Studies librarians have contributed their many decades of experience to create a resource that gathers major reference titles—both print and online—that would be useful to today's Asian Studies librarian. Organized by language group, it offers useful information on the many subscription-based and open-source electronic tools relevant to Asian Studies. This book will serve as an essential resource for reference collections at academic libraries. Previously published bibliographies on materials deal with China or Japan or Korea, but none have coalesced information on all three countries into one work, or are written in English. And unlike the other resources available, this work provides the insight needed for librarians to make informed collection management decisions and reference selections.
