For the man who still believes substance trumps style.
Fujimura writes in the book's prologue that the era of "men should rely on substance and not worry about appearance," prevalent during Japan's period of high economic growth, has shifted to "first impressions matter, and presenting oneself well is a prerequisite for professional success."
"100 Basics of Men's Grooming" thoroughly covers the fundamental care men need to avoid social disadvantages. It is clearly organized by topic, from basic care to advanced techniques.
Each section on the face, body, and hair includes Fujimura's column, "Gaku's Opinion," offering insight into current trends in men's grooming.

In his personal website, author Gaku Fujimura commented, "It has been nearly ten years since I decided to make men's grooming my profession. I am now able to present this milestone in a tangible form.
He further stated, "This book addresses not only basic care such as facial cleansing, moisturizing, and shaving, but also addresses concerns like body odor and bad breath, the latest in hair loss (AGA) treatments, and even the processing of pubic hair, which Japanese men are notably behind on. It covers topics that no one has properly explained before."
