Helpful Score: 2

I loved this book. To be honest, unless you are really interested in reading about Japanese culture, with a story mixed into it, you probably won't like this book. I, on the other hand, lovre reading about Japan, no matter what era; and absolutely love learning Japanese traditions and ways through the readings. There was a lot of situations in the story itself that were very surprising, but that was good. And this book actually teaches you about the traditions, rules, and expectations of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, or "temae". On another up hand, you'll learn a lot of Japanese words throughout the book as well.
