"A splendid primer...tantalizing and rewarding...explains Japanese notions of courtesy and reciprocity and other subtleties, paradoxes and implications of the national character."
Los Angeles Times
"A breezy, readable introduction to a people whose importance to America cannot be overestimated...Christopher conveys a wealth of information in a clear, jargon-free style."
Newsday
"Perceptive, tactfully written...Mr. Christopher has produced a readable, concise, one-volume guide to Japanese society and culture. With clarity, balance, and a healthy supply of anecdotes, he briefly touches almost every conceivable corner of Japanese life."
