Review by Terry Fairbanks
It is interesting to see many familiar english idioms in a Japanese context. There are also many idioms that are unique to Japanese which provide insight into Japanese language and culture. Each idiom is accompanied by an illustration, equivalent english idiom(s) and/or a definition. Examples are also provided in romaji, kana and english. Priced at $7.95 U.S., I personally found the book worth the money.
