Review by Charles E. Tuttle catalogue
A knowledge of a country's proverbs is one of the best ways to understand the way its people think. Each of these 100 proverbs is given in Japanese script, romanized form, and with its literal English translation.
"This is a likeable book and it tells us much about Japan." --Edward G. Seidensticker (translator of "Tale of Genji" and many other works of Japanese literature).
