Following a decade of back-and-forth across the Pacific while researching her doctoral thesis in ethnomusicology, JAPANTHEM author Jillian Marshall reveals contemporary Japan through a prism of magic, serendipity, frustration, unique underground culture, learning life lessons the hard way, and an insatiable curiosity for the human spirit. The book's twenty vignettes - including what it's like to be subtly bullied by your Buddhist dance teacher, go to a secret rave in woods near Mt.\r\n\r\n Fuji, meet a pop star at a basement club while tipsy, and experience a nuclear disaster unfold by the minute - are based off first-hand experience, and illustrate music's fascinating relationship to (Japanese) society with honesty, intelligence, and humor. JAPANTHEM offers a uniquely nuanced portrayal of life in the Land of the Rising Sun - while encouraging us to listen more deeply in (and to) Japan in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
