"Earns its place on the very short shelf of books on Japan that are of permanent value."
—Times Literary Supplement.
"Richie
is a stupendous travel writer; the book shines with bright witticisms,
deft characterizations of fisherfolk, merchants, monks and wistful
adolescents, and keen comparisons of Japanese and Western culture."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"A learned, beautifully paced elegy."
—London Review of Books

Description
Sheltered between Japan’s major islands
lies the Inland Sea, a place modernity passed by. In this classic
travel memoir, Donald Richie embarks on a quest to find Japan’s
timeless heart among its mysterious waters and forgotten islands. This
edition features an introduction by Pico Iyer, photographs from the
award-winning PBS documentary, and a new afterword. First published in
1971, The Inland Sea is a lucid, tender voyage of discovery and self-revelation.
Donald Richie is the foremost authority on Japanese culture and cinema with 40+ books in print. Pico Iyer is the author of The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and numerous other books and essays.
