I've read many travelogues and memoirs of non-Japanese people traveling through and living in Japan. I guess since Davidson traveled in 1980, and this book was published in 1993, the views reflect of the time. It is not easy for anyone non-Japanese to live in Japan. Interesting read, but did not encourage me to visit Japan. A better book to read would be "Learning to Bow" by Bruce S. Feiler.
