Pierre Mustiere - Paperback
£15.99
Pierre Mustiere was born in France in 1976, but has lived in Tokyo since 1998. He has a keen interest in the city's history and is always curious to learn more about it. At weekends he often wanders around little-known corners of the Japanese capital in search of a forgotten bridge, an obscure alley, or a hidden shrine or garden, to discover (or rediscover) parts of this metropolis that he thought he knew. Although working in a completely different field in his day job, for his own pleasure he has qualified as a National Guide-Interpreter ( ) and is also licensed as a Tokyo City Guide ( ). Yoko Kera ( ) comes from the island of Sado in the Sea of Japan. She moved to the capital to study at the prestigious University of Tokyo (Todai), and is more interested in the city's hipper sites and the latest international influences than in its past. Pierre and Yoko are married and have one daughter.
