I MISS INDONESIA:<br />

INDONESIA FROM A JAPANESE<br />

PERSPECTIVE<br />

Hisanori Kato<br />

ISBN: 978-979-709-688-5<br />

Indonesian people surprised Hisanori Kato, a Japanese traveller.<br />

To him, Indonesian people said too much of these two words, “no<br />

problem”, which for him means “there is a problem”. Commented on<br />

a friend who broke promises, the answer is “no problem”. The bus<br />

came late, “no problem”. Internet hang out, “no problem”.<br />

There were still many unique cases among Indonesian people<br />

which Kato-san, a Japanese, could not underst<strong>and</strong>. Without<br />

hurting someone’s feelings, he shared his personal experience<br />

using simple Indonesian language during his temporary living<br />

in Indonesia. Nowadays, Kato-san had returned to his original<br />

country. But he still often misses Indonesia as his second country.<br />

Islam From Japanese Perspective<br />

Hisanori Kato<br />

Japanese sociologist, Hisanori Kato, returns with his second book,<br />

which based upon his research about Islam in Indonesia for more<br />

than a decade. This book is a compilation of many interviews<br />

<strong>and</strong> analysis of many Moslem prominent figures from various<br />

ideologies <strong>and</strong> discipline.<br />
