Japan may be one of the world\u2019s biggest economies, a global leader in everything from architecture to food and a country whose brands have flourished around the world, but it remains a bit of a mystery. Somehow it is simultaneously familiar and hard to fathom \u2013 or it has been, until now.
\nThis book is the culmination of years of reporting across the country by Monocle and it delivers a unique insight into the people, places and products that define Japan.
\nWhether you\u2019re planning a visit or simply curious,\u00a0The Monocle Book of Japan\u00a0will unpack the nation for you. We\u2019ll take you from snowy Hokkaido in the north to the tropical southern islands of Okinawa and, along the way, deep-dive into the worlds of culture, design, retail and more.
\nIt\u2019s Japan revealed as never before.<\/p>\n
