Book Reviews of Behind the Japanese Bow
Book Review: Behind the JAPANOLOGY bow
Summary: 2 Stars
Interesting tidbits, like any book, but I thought this book was stereotypical japanologist..., and this is the exact type of book japanophiles should steer far, far away from. I didn't find his explanations for "kata" a reason why japanese culture is the "superior society". Nor he does he explain "kata" in dilligent detail. This book really wasn't about japanese bows anyway. While I don't doubt De Mente has written some good books, I think this book was his attempt at flattering and complimenting japan for cash.
