DEFINITELY JAPAN: Fashion and Mysteries Kindle Edition

Oct 26, 2025

by Hélène Blignaut (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

DON'T BE MISSED

The book for those who love History and fashion, traditions and legends, from the Jomon period to today, with over 100 fascinating episodes.

"I think that the History of Japan is a phantasmagorical thriller novel with adventures, mysteries, and twists. The extreme luxury of the imperial courts, the elegance of the geishas, the power of the samurai. Fashion is always a protagonist with its masks and symbols, the conspiracies and wars, geishas, the power of the samurai, Eros, and the sublime arts. Geishas, the power of the samurai. Eros, the sublime arts.
Fashion always protagonist with its masks and symbols.
And here I tell it in a 'docu-fiction' of short episodes, a journey to that planet of the Rising Sun that will never cease to amaze us..."

"...and how could we be surprised that the Japanese invented emojis?"
