A book with embedded videos. You will learn something and at times laugh. This is the tale of an American father, an immigrant, trying to bond with his half-Japanese teenage son through the history of their city, Osaka. Since so much of Japanese history is centered in the area surrounding Osaka, it is very much the story of Japan. This, then, is the story of Japan with a focus on Osaka, as discovered by an immigrant. It is full of historical facts, has many chuckles, and a couple of laugh-out-loud guffaws.
