YO Sushi: The Japanese Cookbook]]> http://nihongo.zlio.net/http://nihongo.zlio.net/p/YO-Sushi-The-Japanese-Cookbook/14283236 http://nihongo.zlio.net/p/Memoirs-of-a-Geisha/13290644 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:56:30 GMT ''A seductive and evocative epic on an intimate scale, that tells the extraordinary story of a geisha girl. Summoning up more than twenty years of Japan's most dramatic history, it uncovers a hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degradation. From a small fishing village in 1929, the tale moves to the glamorous and decadent heart of Kyoto in the 1930s, where a young peasant girl is sold as servant and apprentice to a renowned geisha house. She tells her story many years later from the Waldorf Astoria in New York; it exquisitely evokes another culture, a different time and the details of an extraordinary way of life. It conjures up the perfection and the ugliness of life behind rice-paper screens, where young girls learn the arts of geisha - dancing and singing, how to wind the kimono, how to walk and pour tea, and how to beguile the most powerful men.''
