- Synopsis
- Donald Richie has been observing and writing about Japan from the moment he arrived in Tokyo on New Year's Day, 1947. Detailing his life, his attachments, and his ideas on matters high and low, "The Japan Journals" is a record of both a nation and an evolving expatriate sensibility. Although large events loom over the chronology, the Journals are primarily about the details of ordinary life. Richie enjoyed Tokyo's varied demimonde, and he counted taxi drivers, students, cops, hustlers, transvestites, and prostitutes among his acquaintance, along with his fellow expatriates.
