Product Review
"If you are exploring the flea markets of Japan, this guide is as essential as a pair of comfortable shoes. Part of the fun of flea markets is the anticipation-today's could be the best one yet! Let this little guide prepare you to make the experience even more exciting and more successful. Your
time in Japan will never be the same for It." -Nancy Bess author of Bamboo in Japan
"At last, a pocket guide to the flea markets-Japan's great playground for collectors, historians, dealers, families, and visitors. Thank you, Theodore Manning! We have been waiting for this priceless information." -Amy Katoh author of Japan: The Art of Living
"I wish I'd had this guide to the more far-flung markets long ago. I would have planned all my trips around it. Flea Markets of Japan is a welcome new vindication of the fatal addiction of collecting old Japanese stuff-and the most useful one yet." -Margaret Price author of Classic Japanese Inns
"[With] a wealth of basic shopping and adjustment tips, Flea Markets of Japan is especially recommended for those who have never been to Japan before with a yearning for special souvenirs and mementos of their business trip or vacation excursion." -Midwest Book Review
"Well-organized and easy-to-use" -The Japan Times
Reader Reviews
Manning has crafted a detailed pocket guide that catalogs all of Japan's major and minor flea markets. It has strong sections on both Tokyo and Kyoto. All told, 115 flea markets are listed. Each listing has directions, Japanese and English titles, a description of the items for sale, and a telephone number. Equally helpful are the Introduction, the sections Before Going Shopping and Shopping Guidelines, Things to Buy, and the annual Flea Market Calendar. Along with a section on basic Japanese, the book prepares the uninitiated on how to bargain, how much of a discount to expect, and what you might find.
