«Catalunya i un japonès» is the essay by Ko Tazawa, published by Edicions La Campana in paperback (200 pages, in Catalan).
Ko Tazawa arrived in Barcelona at twenty-five, sent by a Japanese bank, knowing nothing about Spain or Catalonia. After learning Catalan in Japan, he returned to live with a family. The book gathers his experiences: how he sees Catalans, the contrasts between both cultures, and the reactions provoked by a Japanese man who speaks Catalan.
The author holds a degree in Sociology, teaches Catalan in Japan, and has translated Catalan literature into Japanese.
For readers interested in Catalonia, the foreign gaze on its culture, and the contrasts between Catalan and Japanese society.
