| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is the first book in a series on Japanese culture. It focuses on the written tradition of Japan, beginning with traditional writing styles, notable writers and poets, and calligraphy technics continuing on into modern influences of haiku in American literature and modern Japanese writers. It also explores the history of manga and notable examples such as Sailor Moon. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
