Chapter One,
in which we set off on a journey without leaving our desk
— Where are you right now?
— In Japan.
We have made many books about different countries, cultures and periods. By the time the book comes out, it feels like you not only know every object in it in detail, but have actually visited the places it mentions.
In this section:

and the School of London
