Query: Not particularly good anthropology, and dated as well

I used this book in preparing for an anthropology paper on women's roles in Japan, and regretted the choice. (As a quick note, I have been dragged to several hostess clubs while employed at a Japanese company.) The anthropology itself is pretty sloppy- the author seems oblivious to the fact that, as a westerner (before westerners became common in hostess clubs), her interactions will be extremely different from what normally happens in such clubs. The book is long on theory, but short on observation. I can not recommend it as anthropology, or as an accurate observation on Japanese sexuality.
