My Japan Laura Sabattoli

This book is a unique exploration of multifarious aspects of Japanese culture, such as the origins of the traditional futon (Japanese-style bed), the ofuro (Japanese-style bath) and the ryokans (Japanese-style inns), including an introduction to local flowers, niche facts about the islands of Southern Japan, and many other elements of the "Japanese world". The publication is enriched by several pictures and 'kawaii' (cute) illustrations that make the reading more enjoyable. Laura Sabattoli is a researcher of Japanese art history who lived and worked in Japan for many years. This book also includes Ulala's Diary, inspired by the author's real experience during her life in Japan. The Learner's Corner available after each page of the Diary guides Japanese language learners to write their own diary in Japanese. The Diary is written with a progressive level of difficulty that meets the needs of elementary-intermediate learners of Japanese.
