In this intriguing investigation into fads and fashions, their inherent meanings and potential for Japanese enterprise and society, Donald Richie, a renowned American writer who has lived in Tokyo for more than 50 years, opens up the industry of the image from Tamagochis to image clubs, T-shirts to robots.
