Japan from the Inside. What is life really like in the land of the rising sun?

What do we know about Japan?
Anime, manga, high-speed "Shinkansen" trains, karaoke, instant noodles, major automotive manufacturers (Suzuki, Mazda, Toyota, and many others), Uniqlo clothing, Shiseido cosmetics, the huge corporation Sony. All of this has been brought to us by such... a seemingly small country.
In the land of the rising sun, an incredible combination of contrasts exists. Just 80 years ago, it was a third-world country. How is it possible that now Japan ranks third in the world in economic indicators?
The author of the book, Marina Chizhova, has been living in Japan for 20 years. During this time, she has mastered Japanese characters, studied at a university in Osaka, worked as a geisha, and married a Japanese man. She has also written three books about the wonderful Japanese culture!
