Review by Charles Eicher
Extremely comprehensive discussion of idioms related to `KI'. Extensive usage notes and discussion of etymology. This book is an oddity, frequently offering extended discussion of japanese philosophy along with its language lessons. Sample sentences in kanji and romaji (including some very rude langugage!)
