Samari Shelby grows up in La Jolla, a Southern California beach town. She is your typical surf rat, but at the age of seventeen, decides to turn her surfboard in for a pair of toe shoes. Too old become a ballet dancer, she opts for being a chorus girl, and ends up traveling the world in a variety of different shows, In Japan, one of the clubs turns out to be a Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) where she witnesses shocking violence, as well as girls being held against their will, addicted to shabu, Japan's super meth. Desperate to get out, she finally finds work in a legitimate club where Yakuza are not even allowed entry. It is there she meets the inimitable Haruto, a charismatic, rich man who dazzles her with his individualistic style. He charms her into marrying him, and even though her intuition tells her it probably won't work: the cultural divide is too wide, and he has a temper, she is tempted by the luxurious life of leisure. And more importantly, she really does love and adore Haruto. But soon the marriage unravels: Haruto is never home, and later she discovers he's having affairs. Even more troublesome, he begins to beat her. She knows she needs to get out, but she feels stuck. Stuck by her alcoholism. It started off innocently enough: hitting the international night club scene to dance and speak English, drinking moderately. But, gradually, she succumbs to drinking ludicrously large amounts of alcohol and realizes not a day goes by without the ubiquitous hangover. Yet even in her drunken malaise, she knows she needs to get out of Japan to save her life, if the alcohol or Haruto don't kill her first. Marie has written a bold, brutally honest book, with a unique voice. Her book will give you an inside peak into the underbelly of Japanese society, as well as the world of the elite, where the chameleon, Samari, seems to transition back and forth almost seamlessly. She's either at Haruto's side, rubbing elbows with Japan's gentry or snorting lines of shabu in janky joints. Samari lets us know what typical life is for many gaijins (slang for outsider, mainly used for Caucasians), and lots about Japan's underground culture. This book is a tragicomedy that will break your heart when you're not laughing at Samari crazy antics. Anyone that has a problem with alcohol can be helped by reading Samari's circuitous journey to recovery. She unequivocally feels, if she can stop drinking, anyone can.

Farewell to faux pas! Minding your manners is an acquired skill, but what serves you well elsewhere could trip you up in Japan. Save yourself possible embarrassment with Etiquette Guide to Japan. An inside look at Japanese social graces, it answers all the questions of the thoughtful traveler. Extensive, specific information on Japanese business etiquette assists readers traveling to Japan for business. Although often overshadowed by a modern facade, long-standing traditional aspects of Japan's culture still influence the country and almost everyone in it. Concrete evidence of this traditional culture can be seen everywhere--in the ancient arts and crafts that are still important parts of everyday life, in the many shrines and temples that dot the nation, and in the modern comeback of traditional fashions such as kimono and yakata robes. To many Western visitors, however, the most obvious example of this traditional culture's strength is the unique etiquette of the Japanese. Like many nations, Japan has experienced vast political, social, and economic change over the past century. But enough of Japan's traditional etiquette remains to set the Japanese apart socially and psychologically and to make success in socializing and doing business with them a special challenge for Westerners. About this new version: This updated and expanded edition of the best-selling Japanese etiquette guide addresses not just the puzzling protocols relating to name cards, bowing or shaking hands, bathrooms and public baths--but also what to do when entertaining Japanese dinner guests, attending a Japanese tea ceremony, taking the subway, and much more! It also provides the latest etiquette in mobile phone manners, texting, social media and other forms of digital communication. The glossary at the back of the book has been revised to include the latest technology-related words and expressions used by Japanese today. Two new chapters address the changing role of foreigners in the workplace and the contemporary business style and etiquette used by the younger generation of Japanese who are now increasingly cosmopolitan--but still very Japanese!

'People in Japan take their drink seriously. But alcohol is seriously bad for you. This book will tell you how to hold your drink - without dying from the consequences' HENRY GEE, Senior Editor, Nature, and author of The Accidental Species: Misunderstandings of Human Evolution 'Drinking can be one of life's great pleasures, but it can also be very harmful and dangerous. Here is a sensible, science-driven, and thought-provoking look at both the pluses and minuses of alcohol as well as tips on how to hopefully enjoy your favourite tipple in a safer way. Kanpai!' BRIAN ASHCRAFT, author of The Japanese Saké Bible and Japanese Whisky 'A refreshingly honest look at booze and how to get the best out of it. I can definitely drink to that.' HELEN McGINN, author of The Knackered Mother's Wine Club ALCOHOL CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU! In this uniquely Japanese mix of quirky fun and hard science, alcohol is revealed not as a poison, but as the best of all medicines . . . up to a point. If we drink healthily, drinkers need never give up what we love. Kaori Haishi is a journalist and the director of the Japan Saké Association; Dr Shinichi Asabe is a liver specialist who likes a drink. Kaori Haishi interviewed a line-up of twenty-five booze-loving physicians, including Japan's leading expert on throwing up, a sleep specialist on how nightcaps can cause depression and a professor on how drinking too much beer can prevent the secretion of testosterone. Now, with Dr Asabe's expert medical help, she has written this book. Universally relevant information about the effects of wines, beers and spirits on the human body is delivered with clarity and precision, backed up by plentiful footnotes citing the latest academic research. The unfailingly amusing Haishi has particularly empathetic advice for women, including the merits of saké as a miracle skin-care product. The book explores all sorts of issues, such as: Bitter Medicine - how beer can help to prevent dementia. Shakes on a Plane - is in-flight drinking dangerous? Mellow Yellow - checking the colour of your pee. Snack Attacks - secrets for avoiding weight gain. And that perennial mystery . . . how do the French get away with it?

First published in 1997, this volume confronts the common impression of Japan as a successfully homogeneous society which conceals some profound tensions, and one such case is presented by the ethnic Korean community. Despite many shared cultural features there are marked contrasts between the Japanese and Korean value systems and interaction is embittered by Japan’s colonial record in Korea up to 1945. This study examines all major aspects of the Korean experience in Japan including their evolving legal status, political divisions and cultural life as well as the effect of Japan’s relations with Korean regimes.

The idea that Japan is a socially homogenous, uniform society has been increasingly challenged in recent years. This book takes the resulting view further by highlighting how Japan, far from singular or monolithic, is socially and culturally complex. It engages with particular life situations, exploring the extent to which personal experiences and lifestyle choices influence this contemporary multifaceted nation-state. Adopting a theoretically engaged ethnographic approach, and considering a range of "escapes" both physical and metaphorical, this book provides a rich picture of the fusions and fissures that comprise Japan and Japaneseness today.
