Description

"This book is intended for a varied audience. It is aimed at persons of Japanese ancestry with a special interest in the local manifestation of their cultural heritage. It is aimed also at students of the Japanese language, especially those in this State but by no means only those of Japanese ancestry, all of whom need to relate the language to the culture of which it forms a part. It is aimed, finally, at anyone who might wish to savor a bit of the Japanese component of the multifaceted culture of the Islands"--From Preface.

Includes illustrations, appendix, and index.
