Renowned for his ability to bring the past back to life through his works, Dr. Junichi Saga takes us this time to the Japanese lakeside hamlet of Anju, where his father had lived for several years as a child, in an old thatched-roof farmhouse, teeming with family, friends, and for much of the year- seasonal workers.
Weaving together his father’s richly detailed reminiscences, the author recreates for us a Japan that has all but vanished, presenting a moving and often very funny human drama, as well as an ethnographic-folkloric treasure trove.
Despite the separation in miles and years, readers will surely feel a closeness to the remarkable little boy whose story is told here.
A must read for anyone interested in getting to know the REAL old Japan - just as it once was.
