This book takes the approach that only if we understand Japan’s weaknesses can we fully grasp its strengths. The author explains Japan’s extraordinary culture, history, and national culture while also bringing to light some of the country’s unattractive features : conformity, rigid hierarchy, submission to the group, pervasive sexism, and an almost messianic sense of national uniqueness. This book explains not only how the Japanese work but why they work. It describes how the Japanese view the West, amuse themselves, court and make love, fashion their society, and define their role in the world. The author searches out the patterns of Japanese thinking and behavior and follows them into every corner of Japanese life.
