Description: Decades before Americans cheered on Ichiro Suzuki, Japanese baseball fans swooned over Babe Ruth. And a century prior to the craze for anime and manga, American art collectors hoarded Japanese woodblock prints. Few relationships can match the depth of the cultural ties between America and Japan over the past two hundred years. In this book, the author tells this absorbing history in full for the first time.
