Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag etwas berieben. - Englisch. - This delightful yet thoughtful book relates the experience of living in Tono, a small town in the Japanese Tibet, and combines vivid description with informed analysis of ritual and customs, marriage procedures, festivals, house planning and building and the routines of day-to-day life in a hostile environment far removed from the sophistication of Tokyo. Anthropologists, cultural geographers, sociologists and architects will find much of interest here, while the dramatic photographs will be a provocative eye-opener for anyone who sees Japanese culture in terms of microchips and flower-arranging.
