36 Views of Mount Fuji
On Finding Myself in Japan
Cathy N. Davidson
Condition and Description: Good condition with light cover wear. Binding is tight and pages are clean.
n 1980 Cathy N. Davidson traveled to Japan to teach English at a leading all-women's university. It was the first of four such journeys and the beginning of a deep and abiding fascination. In this extraordinary book, Cathy Davidson depicts a series of intimate moments and small epiphanies that together make up a panoramic view of Japan.
With wit, candor, and a lover's keen eye, she tells captivating stories--from that of a Buddhist funeral laden with ritual to an exhilarating evening spent touring the "Floating World," the sensual demimonde in which salaryman meets geisha and the normal rules are suspended. On a remote island inhabited by the last matriarchal society in the world, a disconcertingly down-to-earth priestess leads her to the heart of a sacred grove. And she spends a few unforgettable weeks in a quasi-Victorian residence called the Practice House, where, until recently, Japanese women were taught American customs so that they would make proper wives for husbands who might be stationed abroad.
"36 Views of Mount Fuji" not only transforms our image of Japan, it offers a stirring look at the very nature of culture and identity. Often funny, sometimes liltingly sad, it is as intimate and irresistible as a long-awaited letter from a good friend."
"Beautifully written, 36 Views of Mount Fuji resonates like one of the Japanese temple bells Davidson so hauntingly describes: profound, clear and unforgettable...I did not want to put it down"-Susan Allen Toth, author of Blooming
SUPERB..A JEWEL..several books in one, and each one is a delight...Davidson writes in the higher tradition of elegant memoirs - gracefully, thoughtfully, humorously"-Trenton Times(New Jersey)
