Ha Bird Nippon Shi Kyoshitsu (Chukoshinsho Ra Ku Re)

[Machine Translation] What do the faculty and students of Harvard University, the world's premier school of learning, learn from Japanese history? From "The Tale of Genji" and "The Treasury of Loyal Retainers" to Saburo Shiroyama, the students read out the Gyokuon Hoso (broadcast of the Emperor's death) to ponder the Japanese Emperor System, or chew on the depth of Japanese cuisine.... The class was full of fascinating aspects of Japan that even Japanese people do not know. Through interviews with 10 Harvard professors, this book rediscovers the value of Japan as seen from a global perspective.
