This book thus offers a fresh view on Japanese society focussing on
the role of comportment for group cohesiveness. It explores the
stereotype that Japan is the world's most polite country, examining
how proper conduct is acquired and expressed, and how the apparent
conflict with some of the concepts considered essential for Western
modernity, such as society, freedom and the individual, are
balanced with Japan's great emphasis on courtesy, politeness and
civility. By comparing the present situation in Japan with
behavioural standards of former periods as well as with other
cultural traditions the book explains some of the distinctive
features of present-day Japanese society. Overall the book argues
that Japan is a prime example of multiple modernities concerning
individuals, collectives and relationships between state and
society.
