Narrativa - romanzo (254 pagine) - Quattro anni di una universitaria italiana a Ōsaka, in un emozionante e istruttivo memoir che si legge come un romanzo. La ventenne Stefania persegue con decisione un obiettivo di studi in recitazione, pronta a sfruttare l’opportunità di un corso presso la New York Film Academy. Ma la sua determinazione è destinata a sfaldarsi dopo unviaggio familiare in Giappone. Una scintilla emotiva le si accende dentro, catalizza una curiosità, un interesse e una volontà che non possono non avere un seguito. È così che si ritroverà a Ōsaka, per un corso di laurea in Scienze Umane. I suoi anni in Giappone le riserveranno varie sorprese, un percorso che sarà non solo di studio, ma anche di formazione e maturazione personale. Al calar del Sol Levante è un memoir che si legge come un romanzo vivido e sincero, e interessante per l’attenta ambientazione. Un libro con cui vivere e scoprire svariati aspetti del Giappone, della sua società e delle sue dinamiche, attraverso le esperienze di una giovane occidentale che, pur se appassionata, deve comunque fare i conti con bias personali e filtri culturali per superare talune complessità di interazione. Soprattutto, per vivereappieno anche i sentimenti, l’amicizia e l’amore. Classe 1992, Stefania Deplano lavora come insegnante di italiano per stranieri, si occupa di editing e graphicdesign e occasionalmente fa l’interprete di italiano e giapponese. Adora immergersi in varie forme di creatività fin da bambina, ricorda ancora che alle elementari era l'unica alunna a gioire le mattine del tema in classe. Dopo il liceo ha vissuto per un breve periodo a Londra e a New York, dove si è diplomata in recitazione. Nel 2012 ha visitato il Giappone per la prima volta e se ne è innamorata tanto da rinunciare al suo obiettivo di diventare attrice. Invece, si è trasferita a Ōsaka e ha frequentato l'università omonima per quattro anni, conseguendo la laurea in Scienze Sociali. Quando ha deciso di condividere le sue vicende personali risalenti a quel periodo è nato il suo romanzo d'esordio: Al calar del sol levante. Attualmente vive nella sua amata Sardegna, che le regala un mare al quale non potrebbe mai rinunciare. Figlia di un percussionista professionale, adora la musica: suona la chitarra, danza e studia canto. I suoi artisti preferiti sono Michael Jackson e Elvis Presley.

'A glimpse into the exotic, mysterious, tinged-with-eroticism world of the almost mythical geisha' Val Hennessy, Daily Mail '[An] eloquent and innovative memoir' The Times The extraordinary, bestselling memoir from Japan's foremost geisha. 'I can identify the exact moment when things began to change. It was a cold winter afternoon. I had just turned three.' Emerging shyly from her hiding place, Mineko encounters Madam Oima, the formidable proprietress of a prolific geisha house in Gion. Madam Oima is mesmerised by the child's black hair and black eyes: she has found her successor. And so Mineko is gently, but firmly, prised away from her parents to embark on an extraordinary profession, of which she will become the best. But even if you are exquisitely beautiful and the darling of the okiya, the life of a geisha is one of gruelling demands. And Mineko must first contend with her bitterly jealous sister who is determined to sabotage her success . . . Captivating and poignant, Geisha of Gion tells of Mineko's ascendancy to fame and her ultimate decision to leave the profession she found so constricting. After centuries of mystery Mineko is the only geisha to speak out. This is the true story she has long wanted to tell and the one that the West has long wanted to hear.

Oceans and decades apart, two women are inextricably bound by the secrets between them. Japan, 1957. Seventeen-year-old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged marriage to the son of her father’s business associate would secure her family’s status in their traditional Japanese community, but Naoko has fallen for another man—an American sailor, a gaijin—and to marry him would bring great shame upon her entire family. When it’s learned Naoko carries the sailor’s child, she’s cast out in disgrace and forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that will ripple across generations. America, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation—one that calls into question everything she understood about him, her family and herself. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori’s journey leads her halfway around the world to a remote seaside village in Japan, where she must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption. In breathtaking prose and inspired by true stories from a devastating and little-known era in Japanese and American history, The Woman in the White Kimono illuminates a searing portrait of one woman torn between her culture and her heart, and another woman on a journey to discover the true meaning of home.

This prize-winning book is both an illustrated tour of a Tokyo rarely seen in Japan travel guides and an artist's warm, funny, visually rich, and always entertaining graphic memoir. Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of color pencils and a sketchpad, and visit different neighborhoods. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. It isn't the Tokyo of packaged tours and glossy guidebooks, but a grittier, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives and the scenes and activities that unfold on the streets of a bustling metropolis. Here you find businessmen and women, hipsters, students, grandmothers, shopkeepers, policemen, and other urban types and tribes in all manner of dress and hairstyles. A temple nestles among skyscrapers; the corner grocery anchors a diverse assortment of dwellings, cafes, and shops--often tangled in electric lines. The artist mixes styles and tags his pictures with wry comments and observations. Realistically rendered advertisements or posters of pop stars contrast with cartoon sketches of iconic objects or droll vignettes, like a housewife walking her pet pig, a Godzilla statue in a local park, and an urban fishing pond that charges 400 yen per half hour. This very personal guide to Tokyo is organized by neighborhood with hand-drawn maps that provide an overview of each neighborhood, but what really defines them is what caught the artist's eye and attracted his formidable drawing talent. Florent Chavouet begins his introduction by observing that, "Tokyo is said to be the most beautiful of ugly cities." With wit, a playful sense of humor, and the multicolor pencils of his kit, he sets aside the question of urban ugliness or beauty and captures the Japanese essence of a great city in this truly vital portrait.
