Title: The Japanese Financial System
Author: Maki Fujimaru
Publisher: IBC PUBLISHING
Level: 5.2
Summary:
After World War Ⅱ, Japan reaches the period of high economic growth. This book shows us the present Japanese financial system.
This book has four chapters. The first one is the structure of Japanese financial system. Financial structure is changing every day, every time, and without exception, the structure of Japanese financial system is also changing. Because of Japan’s aging society, the saving rate is declining. The influences of that are serious. The most of them is that making it more difficult for corporations and the government to raise fund. Moreover, there are many invisible influences.
In addition to these, in this book, the Japanese financial system is explained very much and deeply, but simply.
Rate: ★★★★☆
Actually, this book is difficult for me. I don’t know very much about Financial system, so for understanding this book, I should have some. However, I give this book 4 star. The reason is that this book is so kind to read. There are lists of some words which are useful to read, and the meaning of them. If there were such lists, I couldn’t read it.

Aesop’s Fables
Title: Aesop’s Fables
Author: David Olivier
Publisher: IBC PUBLISHING
Level: 3.1
Summary:
This book has many short stories. You can learn a lesson from each of them. “The story of the Bat” and “The Boy Who cried Wolf” give us a lesson: not tell a lie or you will lose confidence. “The Ant and the Grasshopper” teaches that the most important thing is that save in the good times for the bad times to come. Each of the lessons is very instructive and has humor, but is not difficult.
Rate: ★★★★☆
“Aesop’s Fables” is the very book which children should read, I think. The books like this we can see at any book stores, but all of them don’t reach it. So I think this book is also a text for dreaming of a writer of fairy tales.
I was surprised at one thing. The writer of this is Aesop, and he is a person who lived ancient Greece! So the story also lives over 2000 years! Good book lived long, and is read forever, I think.

Level: 5.8
Summary:
Not only Japan but also any other countries have their original history. This book shows Japanese history very shortly and simply. In this book, there are seven chapters. Japanese history has some periods, and each of them has distinctive characteristic. Say Kamakura Period for example, there were many bushies, or professional warriors, and the Genji and Heike clans fought each other for control of the country. It is called “Gempei war.” At first, Heike won some battle and took control, but after the leader, Heike no Kiyomori, dead, it is defeated by the Genji clan. Finally, Minamoto no Yoritomo, who is the leader of the Genji, become shogun, supreme general, and established his military government in Kamakura in 1192. Therefore the period is called Kamakura period.
Rate: ★★★★★
This book is very fan for me. I am Japanese and, of course, I have studied Japanese history. However, if you asked me to explain it in English, I couldn’t. This book tells us important things about Japanese history, but the explanation is not difficult and very short. So after reading this book, I think I may become able to explain Japanese history in English a little.
