Miyazaki Manabu

Kotan, 2005

Rollicking tale through 50 years of post-war Japan
Toppamono is a speedy, exciting and somewhat bumpy ride through the first 50 years of the author's life as yakuza scion, student subversive, criminal suspect, paparazzi reporter and eye-witness to the expansion and eventual bursting of Japan's bubble economy. Although neither an intellectual nor a gifted writer, Miyazaki tells a riveting tale of postwar Japan as it successfully pulls itself out ...

Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan

22 reviews
Robert Whiting

Vintage, 2000

Fascinating look at what's crawling around under the tatami
The sub-title of Robert Whiting's fine book is a bit misleading. The American gangster in question often disappears from the narrative for long stretches while Whiting explains the long history of collusion between Japanese politicians and the yakuza. Nevertheless, the result is a fascinating social history with plenty of entertaining anecdotes and colorful character profiles. Chief among the ...

The Meaning of Ichiro: The New Wave from Japan and the Transformation of Our National Pastime

7 reviews
Robert Whiting

Warner Books, 2004

A timely sequel to a classic
In this book, Whiting revisits the experience of Japanese baseball, only this time through the eyes of Japanese players playing in the US. The biographies are well-written and focused as Whiting chooses to elaborate only on the most interesting or most pivotal points of each player's experience. But perhaps most impressive is Whiting's balanced understanding of race, racism, and nationalism on ...

Remembering Japanese Baseball: An Oral History of the Game (Writing Baseball)

10 reviews
Robert K. Fitts

Southern Illinois University Press, 2005

Both entertaining and educational. Very well done.
"As a longtime fan of Japanese baseball, I eagerly anticipated the arrival of Rob Fitts's new book and was not disappointed. The accounts of these great and often colorful players are fascinating to read. The fact that the accounts are presented in the player's own words add tremendously to the book's validity and substance. Though any reader will appreciate the breadth and depth of this book, ...

Obscure Believers: The Mormon Schism of Alpheus Cutler

2 reviews
Biloine Whiting Young

Pogo Press, 2002

women's spirituality
The hidden gem in this book is how it reveals the persistance of women's spirituality as practiced by this off-shoot of Mormonism. With the dedication of the recently restored Temnple in Nauvoo Ill. It is instructive to see the parallels between orthodox mormon spirituality and that performed by the Cutlerites in Minnesota. A little insight into standard Mormon practice informs a reading of ...

Slugging It Out in Japan: An American Major Leaguer in the Tokyo Outfield

8 reviews
Warren Cromartie, Robert Whiting

Kodansha Amer Inc, 1991

Stranger in a Strange Land... Baseball in Japan
Japanese baseball has always fascinated me. This is Warren Cromarte's experience condensed into a book. It reflects his own prejudices, pride, ignorance of Japenese culture, and ultimately his education and grudging acceptance of what he did not understand. The movie "Mr. Baseball" is, in many ways, based on this book. It is amazing how some people look at Japan and see what is not there. For ...

The chrysanthemum and the bat: Baseball samurai style

1 review
Robert Whiting

Dodd, Mead, 1977

Dated
It's now been nealry 30 years since The Chrysanthemum and the Bat was first published, and Japanese baseball (and Japan) have both changed a great deal in that time. Whiting has since published two more books on Japanese baseball, You Gotta Have Wa, which is very good, and The Meaning of Ichiro, which I unfortunately haven't read yet. If you're looking for a view of what the current era of ...
