(Previously released with a different title, Twelve Years at a Japanese Temple is now completely updated with many more chapters, a different ending, and more. Some Amazon reviews may be for the original version.)

Twelve Years at a Japanese Temple --

An account of an Englishman who for over a decade has worked and trained martial arts at a 16th century Buddhist temple in Nagasaki City, Japan.

This book details his time there, but also describes (among many things) his experiences working variously as a male model, a barman at a 'gaijin bar' in Nagasaki's red-light district, and a business English teacher for Mitsubishi.

This is a searingly honest book about the highs -- and lows -- of living in the Land of the Rising Sun.
This is something very different from your 'average' Japan book.
