The Last Voyage presents modern Japan through the eyes of the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis (creator of Zorba the Greek): Kazantzakis visited the country before and after World War II, and his memoirs form the roadmap of this new voyage through a country where Buddhist monks, prostitutes, and Uber drivers co-exist in the land of manga, anime, and video games.
