«Japon» is the essay on Japanese society by Philippe Pons, published by Seuil in paperback (191 pages, in French).
The book analyses contemporary Japanese society starting from the everyday: the street, the company, private life and the aesthetics of maple trees. It shows a reality full of contrasts, between archaism and futurism, and dismantles clichés about the country. It includes references to Tokyo, Kyoto and the architecture of Tadao Ando in Osaka.
The work is number 21 in Seuil's Petite Planète collection; it was originally published in 1981.
A work of interest to tourists, professionals dealing with Japan and lovers of Japanese culture.
