A working-class Englishman, married to a Japanese woman, living and working in a Buddhist temple where his brother-in-law is the priest (an inherited position!) Talk about an unique point of view. And the man can write. The story about the city-wide gathering of Buddhist priests absorbed in conversations about their amateur baseball team was priceless. A wonderful look at modern Japan.
