Hats Off and Kudos all the way to Khurran Sohail Sahb (and obviously Sang-e-Meel Publications) for bringing out such an informative and scholarly work. I never knew there were Japanese who knew our language so well and wrote Urdu so beautifully using such exquisite prose that it put me as a Pakistani to shame.
Urdu through the 'eyes' of Japan (and its people) or Japan, its stories and experiences through the 'eyes' of Urdu, whatever you wish to describe this book as, its a must have for any book lover. Words fall short for its praise.
I have ordered another one for a very dear and old friend of mine who is an avid book and newspaper reader. Sarmad Khan you will love this book! (that was me to myself)
