…the many topics included—everything from history,
arts and sports, and the importance of geography—are
well-handled. Small computer icons hip up the layout with
asides into karaoke, school uniforms, and more. The stock color
photos are appealing, and best are the questions that end each
chapter, some text-based, others for potential research projects,
both excellent starting points for the study of Japan.
