Elder's travelogue from the 1990s is a worthy enough introduction to some of the traditional aspects of Japanese society, though it barely reaches outside tradition nor offers much reflection for the year he spent there with his family.

Elder's American-family-adjusting-to-Japan story has lots of close anecdotal experiences that offer some basic concepts from traditional Japanese culture; brief and unpursued, they remain enjoyable but basic.
