2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting unsupported opinions,
This review is from: Japan Unmasked: The Character & Culture of the Japanese (Tuttle Classics) (Paperback)
This book is a quick read and does provide a quick outline about stereotypical Japanese beliefs and behaviours, as well as some interesting insights into Japanese culture. Unfortunately it does little to support them. Time and time again the author says something interesting about Japan, but fails to give an example or statistic to back it up. The result is that this appears to be a collection of one man's opinions, but gives no basis for believing them.
Let me give you an example "It has long been symptomatic for the Japanese to blame others for their problems..." Really? So what? Give us an example! Prove it to us! Unfortunately he fails to do so. Very frustrating because he does have some interesting things to say.

This review is from: Japan Unmasked: The Character & Culture of the Japanese (Tuttle Classics) (Paperback)
The book covers quite a number of topics about Japan, but unfortunately, all of them are treated quite superficially.
