Reader comments
This book is like a dear friend who shared with me what I saw and thought in Tokyo. Junichi Watanabe's writing is delicate and true, which made me feel the diversity of Japanese society. His thinking on environmental and social issues also resonated with me. Especially the sentence "Snow falls on the ground, seemingly white and flawless, but it conceals many truths", which made me think deeply. This is not only a book about Tokyo, but also an observation and perception of life. Recommended to you, I believe you will also get inspiration from it.
