This is a visual handbook like no other, where you can enjoy looking at everything from casual souvenirs to works of art, while deepening your understanding. This is the sixth volume in the "Bilingual Guide" series, which has been well-received as a guide to traditional culture and a useful resource for learning English. This series is popular at tourist spots and airport bookstores, with foreign readers saying, "It's easy to read, easy to understand, and I want to buy it and take it home." It's a must-have for inbound tourists. Editor's RecommendationsPopular souvenirs for foreign visitors to Japan used to be affordable snacks, stationery, drugstore cosmetics, etc., but recently there has been a surge in repeat customers seeking the "handmade feel" that mass-produced goods cannot provide. Artisanal skills, eco-friendly materials, subtle beauty. This book allows you to rediscover the charm of crafts that are disappearing from everyday life from a foreigner's perspective.
