About This Item
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Oberon Press, 1998. Book. Good. Soft cover. First. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 174+pp., glossary. Light wear. "As the wife of the ambassador to Japan, Mary Taylor had an inside view of a country that to most Canadians is strange, even perverse. Japanese eat their fish raw and take their soup at the end of a meal. They clean themselves before getting into a bath. Only the dead button their shirts on the left and four, not thirteen is an unlucky number. When lovers meet after a long absence, they do not kiss or touch each other; they bow. In this affectionate and entertaining account, Mary Taylor deals with all these things and many more besides.".
