Any country’s social graces can be fraught with problems for novices but Japan, perhaps, presents all newcomers with bewildering, if often pleasing, conundrums. Amy provides us with a humourous and practical introduction to doing it right and being polite in Japan. Vital for first time and frequent visitors to the country, her talk draws on her best-selling book Amy’s Guide to Best Behaviour in Japan.
A long-term resident of Japan, Amy has lived for several decades on a secluded island in the Seto Inland Sea. From here she has taken a deep dive into Japan’s society, observing it in detail for her career as columnist for The Japan Times, journalist and author. Amy also runs the Books on Asia website and podcast, which introduces quality literature on Japan and Asia.
