More about the book
The narrative combines personal memoir with socio-cultural commentary, offering a humorous yet critical glimpse into the life of a young European banker in Japan. Through the lens of his experiences, the author explores the nostalgia of his time while highlighting the deeply conservative values that underpin Japan's admired culture and its political, educational, and managerial systems. The use of magatama as a symbol enriches the exploration of these themes, making the book a unique reflection on cultural contrasts and personal growth.
