Memories of Silk and Straw: A Self-Portrait of Small-Town Japan by Junichi SagaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
One of the best books I've read about recent Japanese history, despite this not being a history book and only focusing on anecdotal stories from a handful of people in a relatively small area.
I now wish we had other "self-portraits" of small towns around the world in a similar vein.
It is also amazing how little many Japanese people had quite recently.
