A 'must read' before visiting Japan or just seeking to appreciate its beauty and unique culture. Fancy a haircut next to a lady having her face shaved? What about a young lady escorting a family through a bath-house full of naked old men? Or shopping at the green grocer's, with the basket-style till dangling from the ceiling? Welcome to living in Japan where unexpected joys and revelations are just around the next corner. Inspired by a selection of letters written between 1974-85, Meet Japan is a journey of enlightenment as seen through the eyes of John and Lois Urquhart. Their Japan was in the mountains, valleys, villages, back streets and everyday hustle and bustle of ordinary people. Meet Japan gives an insight into the country's deeply spiritual relationship with nature, its beauty, the evolution of its 'food life' and culture, and explores the soul of this fascinating country.
