I'm working my way slowly through the book. It's not one that I've picked up and felt unable to put down, I tend to read just a few pages at a time and then pick up where I left off a few days later. Sometimes a typeface and heavy density of words can put me off a book, and that's the case with this one. Once I get past that, it's a very interesting and informative book. The stuff about the 18th century is actually very interesting in the view that it gives of Japanese culture generally. It's a shame that the book stops (historically) where it does, though, as I would like to be able to read about more contemporary Japanese music, stuff like High Rise, Boredoms and Haino.
