Morie Sawataishi became obsessed with preventing the extinction of the 4,000-year-old Japanese dog breed. He defied convention, broke the law, gave up a prestigious job, and chose instead to take his urbanite wife to Japan's forbidding snow country to start a family, and devote himself entirely to saving the Akita.Martha Sherrill blends archival research, on-site reportage, and her talent for narrative to reveal Sawataishi's world, providing a profound look at what it takes to be an individual in a culture where rebels are rare, while expertly portraying a side of Japan that is rarely seen by outsiders.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 208mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 227gAuthor: Martha SherrillGenre: Home Garden & PetsTopic: Biography, HistoryRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
