Description

The private recollections of longtime Japan resident, Donald Richie capture the personalities of certain Japanese people - some famous, some unknown - with insight and humour. Richie, who considers himself a foreigner despite living in Japan for over 53 years, is a keen observer of human nature. In "Japanese Portraits", he provides an elegant and perceptive vision of Japan through precise, intimate portraits of ordinary and extraordinary Japanese people. Portraits include such notable Japanese as acclaimed filmakers Akira Kurowasa and Yasujiro Ozu, famed novelist Yukio Mishima and celebrated actor Toshiro Mifune.
