Angry White Pajamas: A Scrawny Oxford Poet Takes Lessons From The Tokyo Riot Police

Author: Twigger, Robert
Paperback; Illustrated
Quill Press
ISBN: 0688175376

Adrift in Tokyo, thirtynothing Robert Twigger came to a revelation about himself: He had never been fit or brave. Guided by his roommates, he set out to cleanse his body and mind. Not knowing his fist from his elbow, the author is sucked into the world of Japanese martial arts and joins the Tokyo Riot Police on their year-long, brutally demanding course of budo training, where any ascetic motivation soon comes up against blood-stained white pyjamas and fractured collarbones. In this entertaining book, Twigger blends the ancient with the modern -- the ultratraditionalism, ritual,and violence of the dojo (training academy) with the shopping malls, nightclubs, and scenes of everyday Tokyo life in the 1990s -- to provide a brilliant, bizarre glimpse of contemporary Japan.
