1 comments about Narrative of the Expedition to the China Seas and Japan, 1852-1854.
- This book is an excellent reference book in studying present American diplomatic negotiation-way with foreign coutries pursuing only American national interests and in knowing that a most amazing advanced Edo's infrastructure and highest literacy rate in the world in spite of uncivilized conditions because of the Edicts of Seclusion and that there are some Japanese who were cultivated in Western scientic and technological knowledge and could speak and read English as well as Dutch in spite of the Edicts of Seclusion. MY surprise is also great to know a visit of the Commodore Perry fleet to Japan did not occure abruptly but it was announced to EdoGovernement throug Dutch factory in Dejima, Nagasaki.

1 comments about Tokyo: The Complete Guide with the Best Day Trips to Nikko, Kamakura, Yokohama and Mt.F uji (Gold Guides).
- If you're into sushi and soba or curry and caviar you can find the best places to go in here. Also, great walking tours into the Ginza and Shinjuku. And for the adventurous, try the after dark entertainment from Kabuki to karaoke.
The Japanese vocabularly and the food glossaries are particularly helpful.

1 comments about Ai: Japan Through John Lennon's Eyes : A Personal Sketchbook.
- This book is the only English picture book that introduces Japanese that I have ever seen. John's sketches show his understanding of the Japanese language well. What also makes the book special is John's position in Japanese life. He learned Japanese as a foreigner looking at Japan.
Reading it will be a source of enjoyment for everybody whether beginner or advanced in Japanese. Thank you John for such a wonderful expression of Ai.

- I brought this guidebk with me everytime I go to Japan. It's helpful. The maps and the transportation direction could be a bit more precise and detail. Since new and exciting architecture are booming in Japan in recent years, I think all readers are waiting for an updated issue of the JAPAN GUIDE.
