Suzuki, an internationally known broadcaster and host of the television series The Nature of Things , and Oiwa, an anthropologist and translator, traveled throughout Japan interviewing men and women from all walks of life. They discovered people with a concern for peace, a passion for ancestral ways, and a determination to fight against environmental destruction. Their profiles of artists and farmers, grocers and teachers, scientists and aboriginal people show a side of Japan rarely seen in the popular Western media. Annotation c.
