Reporting from the Tokyo martial arts championship among disabled juniors turned into a complete nightmare, a barely seasoned reporter for the Cleveland magazine "Youth of Asia", a guru of Asian teenagers, Billy Chuck sees a geisha in a bar. This meeting draws the journalist into a cycle of dangerous, absurd and comic events: the worst director in the history of Japanese cinema will mysteriously die, a geisha will elude Very Serious People, give Billy Chuck a single kiss and disappear again, possessed teenagers will challenge Billy to a motorcycle duel, crime bosses will start talking about movies, petty bandits - about hairstyles, and private detectives - about the depravity of stairs, a secret Order that has been protecting an incomprehensible goddess for centuries will never remember its name, a blatantly bad film script will turn Billy Chaka into an idiot Superman, and Billy's friend will pull out another tooth for herself. What sakura? What samurai? What high technology? Before us is an explosive cocktail of antiquity, modernity and popular myths - Isaac Adamson's Japan.
