I have read this book several times, to myself and aloud to family & friends. A sweet and very funny novel about an American engineer sent unexpectedly to Japan, who misunderstands the ways of the Japanese and falls in love with the geisha hired to entertain him. A satisfying story of culture clash and forbidden love, though the resolution I was rooting for would have been still more satisfying. Some might say the novel is showing its age, but it captures its time and place well. Highly recommended if you can find a copy! (

Agreeable romance about an American businessman who fallsd in love with a Japanese women hired (as he at first does not realize) to entertain him while he works with a Japanese company. The happy ending is a bit unlikely, but the comedy of his extremely awkward attempts to communicate in very limited Japanese is very believable, by far the most credible I have seen--most fictions seem to move almost instantly from sign language to total oral fluency, but this is much more realistic.
