520    "An immersive journey through the culture and cuisine of 
       one Japanese town, its forest, and its watershed--where 
       ducks are hunted by net, saké is brewed from the purest 
       mountain water, and charcoal is fired in stone kilns--by 
       an American writer and food stylist who spent years 
       working alongside artisans. One night, Brooklyn-based 
       artist and food writer Hannah Kirshner received a life-
       changing invitation to apprentice with a "saké evangelist"
       in a misty Japanese mountain village called Yamanaka. In a
       rapidly modernizing Japan, the region--a stronghold of the
       country's old-fashioned ways--was quickly becoming a 
       destination for chefs and artisans looking to learn about 
       the traditions that have long shaped Japanese culture. 
       Kirshner put on a vest and tie and took her place behind 
       the saké bar. Before long, she met a community of 
       craftspeople, farmers, and foragers--master woodturners, 
       hunters, a paper artist, and a man making charcoal in his 
       nearly abandoned village on the outskirts of town. 
       Kirshner found each craftsperson not only exhibited an 
       extraordinary dedication to their work but their distinct 
       expertise contributed to the fabric of the local culture. 
       Inspired by these masters, she devoted herself to learning
       how they work and live. Taking readers deep into evergreen
       forests, terraced rice fields, and smoke-filled workshops,
       Kirshner captures the centuries-old traditions still alive
       in Yamanaka. Organized into four parts--water, wood, wild 
       things, and cultivation--Foreign Woman Works in Sake Bar 
       invites readers to see what goes into making a fine bowl, 
       a cup of tea, or a harvest of rice and introduces the 
       masters who dedicate their lives to this work. Part 
       travelogue, part meditation on the meaning of work, and 
       full of her own beautiful drawings and recipes, Kirshner's
       refreshing book is an ode to a place and its people, as 
       well as a profound examination of what it means to sustain
       traditions and find purpose in cultivation and craft"--
