0671565400		 The People of Japan--what are they really like, today? To Westerners, there seems a bewildering discrepancy between what we dimly know or feel we know of them--the familiar myths of God-Emperor and samurai, of feudal splendor and fierce insularity--and their present openness of spirit, their desire to move as equals in the modern world.

Pearl S. Buck--with her special gift for making Westerners not only understand but feel an empathy for Oriental life--now brings us close to them. Here are the people of Japan--rich and poor, businessmen and professionals, farmers, students, aristocrats--as only she knows them.

It is life itself that she shows us...

...Eighty pages of photographs (including sixteen pages in full color)--of private lives and intimate moments as well as formal, public occasions--add an extraordinary depth to Miss Buck's narrative.
