The Chrysanthemum and the Sword

Hello Everyone. This is Ako N, from EC1 M6 class. I'm writing to recommend everyone to read this book, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. It was written by Ruth Benedict. It is published by IBC publishing. It is a level 3 book and has 19,630 words. 


This book is based on careful research into Japanese culture by America. They made a study of behavior, character and thinking which is peculiar to Japan, and published this book in 1946. The content is critical of some Japanese culture, but it is really interesting. 
This book is not easy to read, but if you would try it, you could learn many things from this book. So, please try and enjoy it! Thank you for your reading.
