“During the last fifty years, Donald Richie has been our greatest guide to the East. An outsider turned insider—a beautiful and subtle writer with an eye for the wild life as well as an ear for the silences of Japan.”
Michael Ondaatje
“Donald Richie is the Lafcadio Hearn of our time, a subtle, stylish, and deceptively lucid medium between two cultures that confuse one another: the Japanese and the American.”
Tom Wolfe
