- Synopsis
- Written near the end of Sadako Sawamura's remarkable life, My Asakusa (Watashi co Asakusa) is a charming collection of autobiographical essays by a truly self-made woman. Recalling Japan at a time of great political turmoil and rapid cultural change, Sawamura shares with us her vignettes of growing up in Asakusa--one of the last of the old downtown Shitamachi neighborhoods of incessantly modernizing Tokyo--and her keen insight into the characters of those who populated her world.
