Hans Brinckmann is the author of The Magatama Doodle: One Man's Affair with Japan, 1950-1974 and Noon Elusive, a collection of short stories. He divides his time between Tokyo and London.
[A] quirky assemblage of 34 extremely brief chapters that are each
vignettes on a variety of topics, from the changing style of
Japanese eateries to the author's belief in the failure of Japan's
media to play their proper watchdog function. --CHOICE
A work of eminently readable journalism, but also of scholarly
scope, an engaging mix of analysis and memoir. --Japan Times
Overall the author had a detailed explanation of effects from Japan
golden age (Showa Era) while also expressing his feelings towards
the changes of the nation environment, culture, politics and
economy. It is full of bitter and sweet about the Showa Era...
