Enlightening and useful
The book is excellent in giving some insight into what makes Japan what it is. The author describes the complexities of its society, as well as, the richness of it. He analyzes step by step each factor of consideration that has shaped the Japan we perceive,as well as, the one we do not.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Doesn't give a complete picture
Overall, a great book. One of the few books about Japan that is actually written by a Japanese. However, I think because of this, the author doesn't really mention or just glides over a lot of the negative aspects or problems facing Japanese society. (Organized crime, discrimination, or prostitution, for example.)

Enlightening and useful,
This review is from: What is Japan?: Contradictions and Transformations (Hardcover)
The book is excellent in giving some insight into what makes Japan what it is. The author describes the complexities of its society, as well as, the richness of it. He analyzes step by step each factor of consideration that has shaped the Japan we perceive,as well as, the one we do not. He comments on the success of the Japanese, their economy and on the sacrifice and hardship the Japanese had to deal with, etc. The book is useful and of interest to any student of Japanese culture, student of business looking for some reference material regarding the Japanese people and its economical success, but also interesting for a businessmen or person planning to travel for pleasure or business to this country. I consider this book a must for anyone interested in this country and its people.
