First published in 1937 this is a collection of articles written by the author under the pseudonym 'Waseda Eisaku' for the Japan Tourist Bureau's magazine over twenty five years. Intended to satisfy the intellectual curiosity of cultivated tourists from abroad by giving the insider's view of all things Japanese, it was published as a book just before the outbreak of World War II. Writing in the first person, Katsumata becomes both guide and confidante, writing about his own travel experiences in Japan and about Japanese customs and practices that interest him, such as traditional incense ceremonies, or fishing with rod and creel. This personal approach results in an unusual selection of topics and itineraries including tray landscapes, old Japanese clocks, hot springs, Japanese humour, sumo wrestling, pines in Japanese scenery, the Japanese sun flag and Buddhist temple bells. The author not only describes, but draws the reader into his own experiences - his joy on buying an antiquarian book he cannot really afford, the monotony he feels when travelling too long through snowy landscapes, the delight he takes in telling you that the best bait for carp fishing is sweet potato. Katsumata's unconventional choice of subjects and his informal and individualistic writing style make this a refreshingly different guide to Japan, and a valuable record of the period in which it was written.

Misinformation is an impedance to metanoia, (turning from bad to good,) which is the central message of christianity. It misleads, it disorients, it confuses, it generates misunderstanding and disaffection, and occasions emotional and spiritual disquiet. This book decries its pernicious effect on the future of mutual understanding, love, peace, and harmony in the nuclear family setting, and in the wider family that includes all human beings of all colours, races and cultures. The book seeks to awaken consciousness to the reality of the pervasive presence of misinformation in our midst, recommends efforts at eradicating it, and by showing the light aims at replacing it with information that is wholesome, palatable and correct. This book is not about people per se, as individuals or as groups. It is about their intellectual inconsistencies and the harmful demagoguery that proceeds therefrom. Where names appear of persons, groups of people, institutions, or of events and places, they are merely incidental. It was not possible to avoid them and still address the wrong they were intended to instance. A book for everyone, it has no precise target readership because when information contained in a book is from revelation, who is it not for. It is instruction for the uninformed, elucidation and edification for the doubtful, and a mental stimulant for the tired intellectual who perhaps fell asleep. It will get you thinking, even talking, even responding, and that?s not a bad thing. Many themes seem fused together in this book and that is because I am not writing on any of them, I am using them to illustrate and buttress the case I am making for the need for correct information.
