Japan (The Changing Face Of)

Japan (The Changing Face Of)

by Lewis Lansford (Author), Chris Shwarz (Author), Lewis Lansford (Author)

Synopsis

Space-age skyscrapers and ancient temples sit side-by-side in the cities of Japan. In the countryside, high-tech bullet trains speed past rice paddies and untouched mountains. Although the young people don't have the job security their parents did, they do have more freedom than ever before. Meet the people of Japan and learn about the diversity of their lives, from a radio presenter in Kyoto to a Buddist monk in Nara. This book includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency, language.
