"A unique look at a unique culture. If you're trying to figure the
Japanese out, this book provides another important piece of the
puzzle."--Terrie Lloyd, Founder & Publisher, Jap@n Inc.; CEO
LINC Media, Tokyo In Japan: A Guide to Traditions, Customs and
Etiquette veteran Japanologist Boye Lafayette De Mente unlocks the
mysteries of "Kata"--the cultural forms that shape and define
Japanese etiquette, character, and world view to this day. These
forms are responsible for creating the unique traits and talents
which distinguish the Japanese people. Kata governs virtually all
interactions in Japan and remains the key to understanding Japanese
customs, business etiquette, and daily communication. De Mente's 70
essays include: "The Art of Bowing" "The Importance of the Apology"
"The Compulsion for Quality" "Exchanging Name Cards" "The Dangers
of Speaking English" "The Ritual of Tea" In these short, clear
essays, De Mente unravels the complexities of Japanese culture by
exploring the origin, nature, use, and influence of Kata in
Japanese life. By delving into Japanese history and the collective
Japanese psyche, readers will experience the modern expressions of
this ancient culture and specific way of thinking.
