Among the people I came to know after August two years ago is Emi Kawaguchi Mann.
She is the kind of person described below.
At present, there is probably no one who knows the realities of Germany better than she does.
She is a writer.
She is a visiting professor at the Institute of Japanese Culture, Takushoku University.
Born in Osaka Prefecture.
Residing in Stuttgart, Germany.
Graduated from the Piano Department of the College of Art, Nihon University.
Completed the graduate program in piano at the Stuttgart State University of Music.
Her many books include German Style, Japanese Style, Strolling in Dresden (Soshisha), Living in Germany: Eight Wins, Two Losses—Japan Wins (Kodansha), How Japan and East Asia Are Reported in Germany (Shodensha), Hooray for German Cuisine!, Berlin Stories (Heibonsha), Testimony: Furtwängler or Karajan (Shinchosha), and Democracy Is Disappearing from Europe (PHP Institute).
A book in which she holds a dialogue with Masayuki Takayama, the one-of-a-kind journalist of the postwar world, was published on 2016-10-30.
Which Countries Will Survive 10 Years from Now: Japan, the U.S., or Germany (KK Bestsellers, 1,000 yen).
It is a book that all Japanese citizens and people around the world should read.
I am convinced that the work I am doing is to shed light, without compensation, on hidden truths and concealed realities and to express them, and they are doing exactly the same.
Why the Asahi Shimbun is the way it is.
Why roughly half of Germans harbor anti-Japanese sentiment.
What kind of country Germany really is.
What the European refugee problem truly is.
Anyone who wants to know the truth of matters should rush to a bookstore and buy this book immediately.
Especially for those who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun and the Mainichi Shimbun, this is a must-read this winter.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is nothing else you need besides this book.
