Japan’s Cultural Code Words
offers a study of Japanese society through analysis of key terms and concepts that define Japanese attitudes and behaviors.
Japan’s traditional culture is so powerful that it continues to be the prevailing force in molding and tuning the national character of the Japanese, resulting in a society that simultaneously emphasizes both the modern and the traditional.
The best and fastest way to an understanding of the traditional, emotional side of Japanese attitudes and behavior is through their ‘business and cultural code words’–key terms that reveal, in depth, their psychology and philosophy. The book features 233 essays, arranged alphabetically from ‘
Ageashi / Tripping on Your Own Tongue’ to ‘
Zenrei / Breaking the Molds of the Past, ‘ that dive into these code words. Long-term expatriate and internationally-renowned Japanologist Boye Lafayette De Mente offers personal insights into the extremes of Japanese behavior and the dynamics of one of the world’s most fascinating societies.
