The language of  'JAPAN' is very lucid and simple which makes it appealing to a large number of people. Mr. Yamaguchi Hiroichi gives a very candid version of realities and focuses on giving a realistic account of Japanese life, not at all romanticised  like portrayed in some other books. 'JAPAN 'should be valued if nothing else for it's candid portrayal of Japan. It also contains some coloured pictures inside such as of  'cherry blossoms in front of  the Himeji castle'  , 'a festival in Tokyo', 'Noh theatre ' and othes. 'JAPAN' also focuses attention on the relationship of Japan with other countries in recent times which gives a very good perspective of it's international relationships .
