Book Review of The Street of a Thousand Blossoms

The Street of a Thousand Blossoms
reviewed on


This was the first Gail Tsukiyama book I read. Living in Japan, I am fascinated by sumo wrestling...the matches themselves are exciting but I often wondered about the life of a sumo wrestler. While this book is not a handbook on sumo, it does give some insight into their lives. Both brothers embrace that which they love the most and their lives are richer for it. Tsukiyama's writing is wonderful. I look forward to reading all of her books.
