Hello /lit/, I hope you can help me out.

I'm very interested in Japan's history, culture and I'm generally curious how life in Japan is nowadays, so I'm looking for good books to read.
Please no fiction or "westernized" works.
A coworker told me about a book he read, where a guy lived there for 10 years and explains how Japan works, it sounded really interesting, unfortunately the book is only available in Russian.

Can you recommend me something?


I checked the catalog, archive and asked on /jp/ before, but I couldn't find anything like that, oh and /jp/ informed me that their board is only for touhous and onaholes and the like.

If you can't read moonrunes, you won't find what you want. Even if you do read moonrunes, you'll be sorely disappointed to find out how westernized Japan is these days.

Is the board called books, or is it called literature? Not literature, not /lit/.

>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction)

Wrong, I was always interested in Japan and just recently got the opportunity to get a job there.

I've been there as tourist before, but needless to say that you don't know how that place really works in 3 weeks.

>thinking all non-fiction is literature
In Cold Blood is literature, your quest for a book about nippon that confirms that it isn't westernized is not.
