| 520 | |a This book is a collection of true-to-life essays which offers the reader various ways to view the socio-cultural state of the modern world as seen through the eyes of the author - a somewhat cynical but ethical Japanese professor.

The author narrates brief encounters with all aspects of society, from radical students to conservative academicians, from old-style street merchants to modern busines. | ||
