I've only read it once, but it's been stored for a long time, and as shown in photo 3, the pages inside are noticeably yellowed. Please consider this before purchasing. I am also selling volume 2. If you purchase both volumes 1 and 2, I will offer a discount, so please comment. "The Shape of This Country 1" Ryotaro Shiba Price: ¥561 #RyotaroShiba #book #BOOK #bunko #literature #novel I don't think Japan is a special country compared to other countries in the world, but I do think it's a country that requires a little more explanation. The author, who has spent many years unearthing themes from Japanese history and writing a rich and fragrant collection of works, explains the formation of this country with clear logic, based on refined intelligence and deep, meticulous consideration, in this outstanding treatise on the Japanese people.
