The book walks your evening as a timetable, dusk to dawn, then the doors and windows police in Japan check first: one door two locks, the second lock on the sash, the door answered without opening.
482 pages, 86 chapters, every claim in the source ledger. $47 early-bird, 30-day refund.
I grew up in a Japanese house. I've now lived in America longer than I lived in Japan.
Women who live alone get told to be careful, to watch their backs and stay alert. The Japanese police pages written for them read nothing like that. They read like a recipe, a fixed order of small habits, so nobody has to stay on guard all evening.
This video walks one evening, from the car door to the lamp beside the bed, through the nine habits prefectural police in Japan teach women living alone, counted down to the one I nearly didn't believe. At the end is a Sunday phone call with my mother, and what I heard on the other end.
On one point America is simply ahead: the phone on your nightstand can call 911 and text someone where you are, which no Japanese buzzer can do.
If you make it to the end, leave one word in the comments: done. And tell me which of the nine you were already doing before anyone told you to.
