Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the author's global journey, traversing East and West. Along the way, she discovers that the East is far more than the Orientalist fantasy imagined in the West. Her trip begins in Japan, a place that, despite rapid modernisation, retains elements of its feudal tradition. She finds a land shaped by the paradoxical tension between ancient beliefs and modern ideas, epitomised in her visit to the Nogi Shrine, built in honour of a general who committed ritual suicide in the 20th century following the death of the Emperor. The author also explores the evolution of Japan, from its emergence from centuries of isolation to its position as an economic powerhouse.
