THIS CLASSIC BOOK ON JAPANESE CULTURE AND ETIQUETTE TAKES A CANDID
LOOK AT ASIA'S MOST MODERN, YET MISREAD SOCIETY.
Here is a different book about the Japanese. A far cry from the purple
prose of the starry-eyed Western visitor or the sterile style of the
government gazette, _The Japanese Are Like That_ is a down to earth
scrutiny of the so called "inscrutable" Japanese. Armed with a cool
head, the gift of clear expression, and an objectivity born of years
of foreign residence, the author discusses with refreshing candor the
national traits and ways of life of his countrymen, and compares them
with those of other peoples, letting the chips fall where they may
Despite his background as a career diplomat, Mr. Kawasaki in this book
dispenses with top hat and striped trousers and pulls no punches in
exploding some popular myths and romantic illusions about Japan and
the Japanese.
This book is certain to provide the reader with new insights into
little known facets of Japan which very few authors have cared or
dared to treat so openly.
