Summary
Ulysses S. Grant single-handedly saves the Noh drama, Isabella Bird rides on the shoulders of a beautiful Ainu, Jean Cocteau and friend explore the ur-Soapland, Charlie Chaplin almost gets himself assassinated, and Henry Adams laughs and laughs. These are just some of the adventures of the number of illustrious and honorable visitors who came to Japan and then left behind some record of what they found (and didn't), how they behaved (or misbehaved) and what they finally made of this "mysterious" land. Book jacket.
