| Publisher Description: Brea Elder is a bear god of Japan who some years ago came down from the mountains to live among men. He fell in love and fathered a child and set forth with his new family for the city. His acceptance into human society was near complete when his love took her own life and shattered their existence. In sadness, he withdrew to the hills to live in solitude once again. But now, the child has need of her father and he has determined to come once again among men. This time however, it will be different. This time he will not become one of them. Brea Elder the bear god of Japan is an exploration and explanation of Japanese culture that does not cloud insight by mentions of the country. The book is a manual of the inner workings of the Japanese education system and society. It provides a user friendly guide to those interested in learning what is it like to be Japanese. |
