The growing globalization of world business, culture and
communication--and Japan's increasingly important role as a leader in
that world--makes understanding Japanese culture critical for business
people, diplomats, students, educators and anyone else with an
interest in Japan.
Westerners have recognized--and analyzed--the many unique aspects of
Japanese culture since they first set foot in Japan in the 16th
century. The special talents (and weaknesses) that characterize the
Japanese way of life are by now well-documented. But few Westerners
really understand the beliefs and values that underlie how the
Japanese think and act, how and why these attributes have been
preserved in Japanese culture from ancient times through the modern
day, or the critical role they play in today's Japanese society.
In _Japan Unmasked_ veteran Japanologist and author Boye Lafayette De
Mente explores the social, cultural, and psychological characteristics
responsible for the unique nature of modern-day Japanese culture-- the
real "face" behind the "mask"--and demonstrates how they have brought
the Japanese to their central role on the world stage.
