Book Description
Some Japanese words and phrases, even though they lie at the core of the language, forever elude the student's grasp. They are not explained satisfactorily in dictionaries or textbooks for the simple reason that they cannot be conveniently defined. Japanese Core Words and Phrases brings these
recalcitrants to bay.
The book is divided into two parts, each of which is arranged in alphabetical order. The first part is devoted to words indicating physical as well as psychological distance-roughly equivalent to "this," "that," "that over there," and "where," but quite different in usage. Physical distance is
covered in most textbooks, but psychological distance-every student's nemesis-is not.
The second part of the book covers a variety of idiomatic expressions, many of which appear in Japanese proficiency tests. Each entry word or phrase is not simply explained but exemplified in sentence form, clarifying its meaning (in the case of many students) for the very first time.
Japanese Core Words and Phrases has a great deal to offer the beginning student and much to offer the intermediate student. Little more can be asked of a book on the Japanese language.
Previously published in the Power Japanese series as Core Words and Phrases: Things You Can't Find in a Dictionary.

good ol' koudansha.......2006-07-01
Well, as the title so boldly states you WILL find things in this little gem that you wouldn't find in just any dictionary(although you might want to try eiwa-waei dictionaries aimed at native japanese speakers if you've reached a certain level of proficiency). I do have one gripe, though. Why can't language guide publishers be more careful when it comes to typo's?They've even misspelled the name of the author on page 3(dai6satsuhakkou).Who is "Kazuko Shoji"? This kind of thing is pretty common in koudansha publications which is pretty sad considering the outstanding work of(most of)the authors. Fortunately, romanised text helps clear any discrepancies most of the time but it's still annoying.
Wish I'd bought this sooner!.......2004-05-31
This book really is excellent in every way. I'm an intermediate/advanced japanese student, although I mainly study on my own these days. Because of that, I needed something to teach me some of the little things that are difficult to find in a book, yet are a big part of the language, and this book does that. It has a HUGE list of Japanese idioms, set phrases, and similar grammatical tools that are absolutely integral to the Japanese language, and I often found myself going "Oh yah, that's the kind of thing I would say in English, but never thought to learn it in Japanese!"
Basically, if you want to take a break from the textbooks and learn some really good fundamental and natural Japanese grammar, this book is for you. For the price, you simply can't beat it. I also HIGHLY recommend "Basic Connections:Making Your Japanese Flow." With those two books, you'll have enough info to last you a long time!
A little more advanced than I was looking for.......2002-03-26
This book seems quite useful, and is well-indexed... but this is really for intermediate to advanced students of Japanese. To use this book, you should be able to read some Kanji, and already have a good knowledge of Japanese sentence structure and a reasonable vocabulary.
A Great List of Expressions that are not in Dictionaries.......2001-08-07
I feel that my comprehension of written Japanese has improved as a result of reading this book. By reading novels in Japanese I found out how insufficient most dictionaries and grammar references are with regard to the Japanese I often found in novels. Thus, I was quite pleased when I found this book because it seemed to cover a lot of the words that I had been unsuccessfully searching for in dictionaries. This book is broken down into two sections: gdemonstrative pronounsh and gidiomatic expression.h Under each section there is a list of phrases; each phrase covered receives over a paragraph long explanation, as well as numerous example sentences. Furthermore, I feel that this bookfs best point is the selection of words covered. Thus, I feel that this book is a good value because you will likely not find the same expressions in other resources. Also, I think that this book has particular value to those students who want to start to gain confidence reading Japanese literature.

California peach farmer David Mas Masumoto's Four Seasons in Five Senses is about awareness--of the process by which peaches are grown and enjoyed; of the sensual "stories" by which farmers learn their work and place in it; and of farming itself, whose cycles of birth, growth, and decay make it a telling metaphor of life. In a series of short essays, such as "How to Eat Peach," "Got Umami," and "The Art of Grunting" (an amusing exploration of work sounds), Masumoto shows readers his inner-outer world. Masumoto's eye is, however, always fixed on the narratives we tell ourselves. "The best farmers of personalized products strive to create true stories and personal connections through our fruits," says Masumoto, "a journey through four seasons in five senses." But Masumoto also lives in the world of commercial imperatives. "We [farmers] work for pennies," he says, "and people of America spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than do people in any other country." A provider of a highly perishable "handmade" product that must nonetheless reach consumers in a state worthy of his commitment to it, Masumoto is frustrated by the plight of "slow food" in a fast-food world. "Farming must be circular in contrast to the straight lines of business," he says.
Despite repetitiveness, some overreaching prose ("I see with my senses, aware ... a tree with peach lights in it, a siren of harvest time," for example), and an inclination to self-regard (as opposed to self-attentiveness), readers will follow Masumoto's tale avidly, enjoying particularly his depictions of the peach growing process. For those of us lost to modern industrial life, the realization that there is a farmer behind every piece of fruit our supermarkets sell, and that his or her whole awareness can be in that fruit, is a revelation. That disclosure is at the center of Masumoto's enlightening tale. --Arthur Boehm
Book Description
The nation's favorite literary farmer pays homage to the life of the senses.
Rushing from one thing to another, we lose sight of the art of living, which for California farmer David Mas Masumoto is also the art of farming. Not fast farming, of the kind that produces fast food, but slow farming, the kind that notices each change of light and temperature and produces peaches with juice that runs down your chin.
On the farm, appreciating the fruits of one's own labor requires all the senses: smell that knows when a peach is ready to be picked; sight that observes the health of a season's crop; touch that measures the weight of a fruit; hearing that recognizes each voice that calls out across the fields; and taste that savors the refreshing tang of a fruit at that perfect moment of ripeness. Taking us into his fields to witness the cycle of the harvest, Masumoto reminds us that we must stop living on the run in order to savor the world around us.

Love of the Land.......2003-08-18
The writer is a farmer who grows organic peaches and grapes (for raisins) in California. That's about like saying that Mother Teresa is a nun from Eastern Europe...true enough as far as it goes, but it misses the point. The writer is a gentle philosopher who loves his farm and his crops and celebrates both with all of his senses throughout the year. To read this book is to share that intense feeling about the land and growing things, along with the hope and despair that accompanies each crop.
In very few books do you encounter such a deep love of the land and growth of plants and sensitivity to it. Seldom do you find an understanding of the unity and wholeness of farming in its true sense. The writer incorporates his own Japanese background and the labour of his parents and grandparents and the toil of his Mexican farm laborers into his understanding of the soil, the climate, the market and most of all the fruit he grows.
All five senses are used to give the reader a multi-dimensional feeling of immediacy. The writer shares with us the sweat, the dust, the heat, the memories and the hopes - all the complexities of growing a truly luscious peach. This is no sentimental view of farming, but it does explore the soul of the relationship between a man and the land.
This book is for anyone who loves the land and understand the magic of growing things.
Peach love.......2003-01-18
Reading David Masumoto's Epitaph for a Peach changed the way I viewed peaches. While I always liked peaches, Masumoto's passion for peaches elevated them to the top of the fruit ladder. However, I felt that he had reached the end of that genre. How much more was there to say about peaches and peach growing? I was wrong. Four Seasons and Five Senses is a wonderful book which deepens my affection of peaches and enhances my knowledge of the process.
He has grown so much as a writer since Epitaph for a Peach. He's able to bring to life the love of farming, the excitement about organic peaches, the anxieties about the market and weather, the sensuality of eating luscious fruit, the uncertainty of prices, and the difficulty of the labor. He breaks the stereotype of ignorant farmers. He connects peach farming with such diverse subjects as chamber music, migrant labor, and entomology.
I did not want the book to end.
Having tasted Masumoto's peaches also helps for they truly are amazing. I recommend the book to anyone who appreciates good food, wants to know about the experience of organic farming, and is interested in whole process of getting a peach to market.

Book Description
Although i Seibutsu no Sekai (The World of Living Things) /i , the seminal 1941 work of Kinji Imanishi, had an enormous impact in Japan, both on scholars and on the general public, very little is known about it in the English-speaking world. This book makes the complete text available in English for the first time and provides an extensive introduction and notes to set the work in context. Imanishi's work, based on a very wide knowledge of science and the natural world, puts forward a distinctive view of nature and how it should be studied. Imanishi's work is particularly important as a background to ecology, primatology and human social evolution theory in Japan.
Book Description
An engaging collection about everything from the abacus to zoology in Japan, designed to preserve knowledge about a society that was modernizing beyond recognition. This book remains an erudite source of information about culture, history, art, religion, and daily life.
Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850–1935) lived in Japan for thirty-five years and was one of the foremost Japanologists of his day.

Greatest book ever about Japan.......2007-07-13
This book was written a hundred years ago, it therefore describes a Japan that often doesn't exist anymore, but this makes it more interesting. It is a great resource about things, that were lost. The single articles are full of information, always interesting and always have a personal note. It has an article about "Cats" but also about "Treaties with foreign powers", about "The status of women" but also about "Fashionable Crazes". Some things are slanted and reflect the spirit of the time, like when he talks of "Japanese People" but even then it is interesting, just seeing how our understanding has changed.
You can read it from "A to Z" or you can read single articles, whichever way, the book is going to be intersting and informative and as an added bonus you get a good dose of British humor. This is one of my favourite books about Japan and I have a lot.
Book Description
The Eurasian son of a Chinese railroad executive, young David lives in a world of privilege until World War II. His father serves the Japanese while secretly working for the Resistance. After the war, with his father imprisoned, he leaves the country at the age of twelve, unsure that they will ever be reunited. This memoir was awarded the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize for Nonfiction.
Customer Reviews:
Simply amazing.......2005-01-24
I was sent a copy of this book by my mum from Australia last year and only recently had the chance to finally read the book.
It's no wonder that this book is an award winner (2000 Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize). Kwan keeps you rivetted to his story, told through eyes of a young boy growing up in very turbulent times. In spite of coming from a wealthy family, it cannot save him from the terrors and turmoil brought to Northern China in the 1930s and 1940s, nor from the racial judgement passed on him for being half-Chinese and half-White.
How Kwan manages to survive is quite amazing. He is abandoned by his own mother and faces major abuses at school. Then, war begins and he begins to witness the atrocities committed by the Japanese in China. Finally, after the Japanese are defeated, he nearly loses his father to the KMT government that his father has faithfuly served through the resistance movement. He is not even safe from his own family, who try to use him as a means to extort his father for money that no longer exists.
An absolute must read for anyone interested in China, the Japanese invasion of China, and a boy's coming of age.
A beautiful work, both tender and powerful........2001-08-03
I read a review and an excerpt of this book in Toronto last summer, and waited anxiously for it to be published here in the States. I read it in two days, gulping it down excitedly; then I re-read it slowly, informed of the story but savoring the beautiful prose. I wrote Mr. Kwan a "fan letter," only to learn today in this forum that he passed away. I was hoping for a sequel.
a powerful and well written memoir.......2001-06-30
An extraordinary story told with well controlled language and subtle understatements. The book chronicles the lives in a previledged, but also marginalized, world where everyone is deeply enshrouded in his or her own loneliness : the western expatriates in China, the mixed-blood children like the author himself, the western women married to Chinese men but unable to summon any love for the country or its people, the well-cultured mem ostracized by the society for their marriages to western women. Each of them, making good-intentioned efforts to connect, failed miserably because of their own deep-rooted prejudice, social barriars imposed by other people, or simply the uncontrollable historical whirlwinds. Outside this walled-in existence, a war is raging on with unimaginable callousness. The wall would eventually crumble down and the fineness of the Legation Quarter be swallowed by the brutal and rancid humanities of that era. Reminding us at times of Proust and Graham Greene, this remembrance of things past documents, in a hushed voice, an extraordinary age and all the human efforts to stay emerged in the midst of sweeping torrents. Warmth and friendship flicker from time to time in this vast emotional void : the author's attachment to his down-to-earth and understanding nanny Shu Ma, his natural bonding with the reticent peasant Xiao Hu, and the unusual and quiet friendship between the boy and the Japanese Admiral. Language in the last couple chapters slips a little bit and becomes less disciplined. But overall this is a wonderfully written memoir. Saddened by the news of the author's death couple weeks ago, I was especially grateful for the gift he left with us in the form of this book.
A moving, understated memoir.......2001-06-26
I bought Michael David Kwan's "Things That Must Not Be Forgotten" after reading a glowing review in the Washington Post. I was not disappointed. It is a moving, understated memoir about Mr. Kwan's childhood years starting shortly before the outbreak of World War II and ending as the Kuomintang was breathing its last in mainland China. Although young David was fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family as a "half-caste" child of a Chinese father and a Swiss mother (who abandoned the family very early in David's life), he was never considered to be a true part of either the white and Chinese communities. The editorial reviews give a good overview of the content of the book and the increasing difficulties that David and his family endured under the Japanese and even more so under the corrupt Nationalist Chinese government. The narrative is brisk and engaging; it is probably the best work of non-fiction that I have read in quite some time.
Sadly, on May 20th of this year Mr. Kwan suffered a fatal heart attack just two weeks before the official U.S.-publication of this book. We are all very fortunate that he was able to give us such a memorable farewell gift.
"Things That Must Not Be Forgotten" won the 2000 Kirayama Prize for non-fiction, beating out such well-received books as Herbert Bix's "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan," Helen Zia's "Asian American Dreams" and Chanrithy Him's "When Broken Glass Floats."

Abu.......2007-09-12
Continuation after "Jar of Dreams". Rinko, Abu, and Zenny break Aunt Hata's rules and hitch a ride with the train. The old man defends the kids against a bully. The old man lives in the barn and paints kites. Aunt Hata says he came upon bad luck and hard times. Abu'a arm is run over by the train. Rinko screams. Aunt Hata drives abu to the hospital where he slowly recovers. Abu experiences nerve damage and he can't move his arm. Aunt Hata truck is stolen. Rinko's papa and mamma arrive but the truck is not found.
The old man goes back to Japan. He leaves kites for the kids and tells Mrs. Hata, "Be Strong" and not to accept welfare because it will impoverish the family. The bad thing the old man feared was confronted and he learned to have pride in himself and return home to Japan. The bad things were not so bad.
Aunt Hata can only think about Abu and him getting better. In the meantime the cucumbers rot in the fields. The cucumbers provide income for the family. Aunt Hata sells fresh cucumbers to the factory. Rinko and Zenny try to sell the cumbers by the road earning 10 cents for the day. The old man brings out two kites and lets Rinko and Zenny fly them and provides a distraction from their concerns about Abu.
The welfare lady becomes aware of the Hata from hospital reports. The welfare lady visits the home and reports no bath room and wants Aunt Hata to relocate into town and work a job.
The old tells Rinko and Zenny his secret. The old man is an illegal alien. The old man stole away on a ship, became a cook, and jumped ship in San Franciso, worked the copper mines in Utah, and ended up in Oakland. The old man is afraid he will be sent back to Japan or imprison.
Rinko believes bad things come in threes. How will the bad thing become the best thing?
Japanese immigrants in America.......2005-04-09
It's a typical story about the Japanese immigration in the American Continent, in the first decades of 20th century. At that time, many Japanese dreamed to work in America, with intention to "make fortune" there and return to Japan. This didn't happen only in the United States or Canada. Many Japanese families had immigrated for other Latin-American countries, all with the same dream.
The story happens in the 30's and shows basically how the Japanese lived in the new country, and the problems that they had faced, such as cultural differences, language, discrimination etc. Rinko is a 'Nipo-American' girl who lives in the city, and has to pass the summer vacations helping her cousins and her aunt, Mrs. Hata, in a small-cucumber-farm. It would have to be a boring vacation for Rinko but, in the end, she will learn important things about japanese culture and about her origins... EXCELLENT BOOK!!!
Great Story For Growing Up.......2003-11-23
I love a book that makes you think about "why" we should be righteous people. Rinko was just a typical American girl and to be ripped out of her daily life and get a taste of another culture is what every mother would love for her kids! As a mother of 4 sons, I can see my boys doing the things these boys did - and I can understand their adventureous souls! To see how Rinko changes from a self-centered girl to a caring girl is something that I would wish on all children.
Having lived in Japan while I was in Junior High School, I have always loved books with Japanese themes.
This is a good book and I loved the movie too!
Fantastic Book.......2003-05-16
If you like realistic stories and something which you can compare to yourself, you would love the Best Bad Thing. Once you read a chapter you will not want to stop. Why I loved this book is because I could relate to it. This book has some very funny humor in it.
Now it is hard to sum up the story without giving it away, but I can give you a brief review.
This story is about a girl named Rinko who is going to have to go to Mrs. Hata's for the summer. Why will she have to go? Because Mr. Hata has died (Mrs. Hata's husband). Everybody thinks that Mrs. Hata is crazy. Rinko does not want to go, she thinks it is bad, but then something makes this one of the best summers ever.
One last thing. In this story there are many suprises. So if you would like to read a great, humorous, realistic, and suprising story, you should read: The Best Bad Thing.

An Interesting Look at a Different Culture.......2002-01-03
It seems that too many books that supposedly focus on Japanese culture instead speak mainly of the overarching organization, such as its economic system (along with the "economic miracle) or its government. While such things are extremely important to a study of Japan, they do not compromise the entirety of a people's culture. Think about it. If you were to write a book on the American way of life, you would of course talk about Washington D.C. and our capitalistic mores. Yet this does not begin to describe the common life of an American citizen, with our hot-dogs and station wagons, baseball and fairs...all of which is just is important and perhaps even more interesting. Nor would it give any real practical information to a Japanese student seeking to come to America on the way we really live.
So it is with most cultural guides of Japan...and this book proves to be a great exception. It is comprised of one hundred short essays, written by foreigners, about things that they perceive as essentially Japanese. For example, they have written about tatami, the traditional mats the Japanese use to cover their floors, and manga, the Japanese comic, as well as the proper business card etiquette and how a Japanese wedding is performed. These are all extremely interesting tidbits about a very different culture, and for a serious student who might be thinking of visiting Japan, or for one interested in the realities of Japanese culture, this book is just the thing. Perhaps the only problem is its date, being written in the early 70's. Yes, we cannot think that nothing has changed in Japan in these thirty years...yet despite the time gap, this book is well worth reading.
