The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"JAPANESE ETIQUETTE has been written simply to introduce the etiquette of our everyday life to Westerners, both men and women.... It is our sincere wish that this book may provide you with keys to our Japanese living ...and ultimately to the underlying spirit of our country, thereby helping to bring about a still greater understanding across all boundaries. We have selected for this book, then, only those points in our everyday etiquette which are perhaps different from those in Western countries.. We have included the arts of flower arrangement and tea ceremony... because we feel that they are in many ways the quintessence of Japanese manners. We have also included a general outline of annual events in Japan...Specific questions as to what a foreigner would or should do on certain occasions, we have tried to meet with helpful answers."
