…the many topics included—everything fromhistory, 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.
