It is Quentin's question, his search for hope and love after innocence has been lost, that must be real, not the past lives of Arthur Miller or Elia Kazan.

But the Rudofsky tour is conducted with such irresistible charm, wit, grace and style that the reader is inspired to affection, if not understanding, for the enigmatic Japanese. The book is profusely illustrated with old woodcuts and drawings that handsomely convey "the aroma of the Japanese cultural climate," which was the author's purpose...
