Lost Japan
by Alex Kerr

From the Lonely Planet Journeys series.

Winner of Japan's 1994 Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize

Originally written in Japanese, this passionate, vividly personal book draws on the author's experiences in Japan over thirty years. Alex Kerr takes us on a backstage tour as he explores the ritualised world of Kabuki, retraces his initiation into Tokyo's boardrooms during the heady Bubble Years, tells how he stumbled on a hidden valley that became his home... and exposes the environmental and cultural destruction that is the other face of contemporary Japan.

"This deeply personal witness to Japan's wilful loss of its traditional culture is at the same time an immensely valuable evaluation of just what that culture was."
--Donald Richie, Japan Times

"Alex Kerr's book carries a powerful message applicable to all cultures. He is on a life-long quest for beauty."
--Issey Miyake
