| Description: | Select Guide Rating 'A Japanese Mirror is what the tourist who wants to see the real Japan - "through the looking glass" - should pack in his flight-bag.'

With piercing analysis of cinema, theatre, television, art and legend, he shows the Japanese both ''as they imagine themselves to be, and as they would like themselves to be.'' |
