Résumé

Explores the myth, so abused by the mass media, that the Japanese are a grey, anonymous mass of efficient, obedient workers. The book's international contributors examine the role in modern Japanese society of a range of leisure and play activities, from drinking to travel, football to karaoke, and tattoos to rock fandom.
