DESCRIPTION:
Looking at all aspects of daily life such as home life, school and leisure time in the city of Okazaki and the village of Narai, the differences between the two communities are exposed. There is almanac type material about Japan in general.

Urban and rural life are compared and contrasted in these two attractive offerings filled with full-color photographs in a variety of appealing layouts.
