The Chrysanthemum and the Sword-Collector's Edition with Colorful Illustrations (Chinese Edition)

Japanese are aggressive but moderate, militaristic but beauty-loving, arrogant but polite, stubborn but weak and fickle, tame but unmanipulated, loyal but apt to betray, brave but coward, conservative but willing to accept new life style. This book truly reflects the inheritance and evolution of Japanese traditions and customs and presents the unique Japanese national characteristics and cultural traditions by serious research, vivid cases, hundreds of Yamato-e and modern photographs with the calm attitude of the author.
