9.99 €
Do you really know Japan?
Japan is a country of contrasts: ancient temples against the backdrop of ultra-modern skyscrapers, traditional tea ceremonies and robotic cafes, impeccable politeness and silent restraint. But behind this carefully constructed facade lies another Japan — a country of unspoken rules, social taboos and secrets that are not usually spoken about out loud.
Author Arina Kharitonova has been living in Tokyo for five years, during which she has become very closely acquainted with the criminal and unsightly side of the city, which she actively shares with her subscribers on social networks.
This book is the key to a world that remains beyond standard routes and glossy guidebooks. You will go on a journey through the dirtiest secrets of Japanese society, where centuries-old traditions coexist with vice, and external politeness hides complex and sometimes contradictory realities. And you will learn about unwritten rules of conduct, secret societies, the dark side of the Japanese economy and topics that make even the most frank conversations awkward.
From the book you will learn:
- How Arina met the yakuza and what came of it.
- Why the Japanese do not like foreigners.
- Why people rent old people.
- Who geishas really are.
- What is hidden behind the friendly smile of Japanese neighbors.
- What entertainment awaits you under the cover of night.
The world of the yakuza, secret clubs and taboo topics - all this awaits you on the pages of this book. Immerse yourself in the real Japan, which you have never heard of!
