A Few Man Fridays traces the displacement of these unpeople and the successive denial of their right to nationhood.Cardboard Citizens has worked with homeless people and the marginalised for 20 years; marrying personal stories and historical subjects into an epic theatre that challenges public perceptions of social exclusion.

I particularly like the fact that the author grew up in a western country. and now lives in Japan. because she shares her outlook from a Western eye. which is helpful to a Western reader who loves antiques and collectables. along with blue and white. I love the way the photos blend the simplicity of Japanese style along with a little Western taste in collecting things. It has a nice balance of not over doing the display of cherished things. while still enjoying them in the home. To me it had a very "Zen" feel of harmony and beauty. and had a feeling of "coming home" to things I love when I looked at this book. I felt inspired to rearrange my collections and cut clutter while still displaying favourite items in a complimentary way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
