Now in clear archival cover. ~~ Buruma examines the popular media and other Japanese cultural institutions and "offers insight into the rather raunchy, violent, and sometimes morbid side of the Japanese beyond the forms of delicacy with which we are most familiar. . . . how sexuality and sex roles underpin the elaborate structures of Japanese culture. He sees how women are traditionally worshipped as maternal goddesses but feared as sexual demons; how they are trained in the art of seeming passive and artificial as dolls, and highly active as prostitutes. He looks at the downtrodden Japanese father; the violent world of the Japanese gangster-hero; the ancient code of honor as conceived by today's salaryman; and the quintessential Japanese drifter. And he looks at the middle world of the transvestite, where sex roles are most clearly defined . . . "Behind the Mask" is perceptive, informed, and authoritative; it is also colorful and earthy--splendid entertainment written with panache." --dust jacket.
