Cover von Roger J. Davies & Osamu Ikeno: Japanese Mind (ePUB)
In The Japanese Mind, Roger Davies offers Westerners an invaluable key to the unique aspects of Japanese culture.


Readers of this book will gain a clear understanding of what makes the Japanese, and their society, tick. Among the topics explored:
aimai (ambiguity),
amae (dependence upon others‘ benevolence),
amakudari (the nation’s descent from heaven),
chinmoku (silence in communication),
gambari (perseverance),
giri (social obligation),
haragei (literally, ‚belly art‘; implicit, unspoken communication),
kenkyo (the appearance of modesty),
sempai-kohai (seniority),
wabi-sabi (simplicity and elegance), and
zoto (gift giving), as well as discussions of child-rearing, personal space, and the roles of women in Japanese society. It includes discussion topics and questions after each chapter.


All in all, this book is an easy-to-use introduction to the distinguishing characteristics of Japanese society; an invaluable resource for anyone–business people, travelers, or students–perfect for course adoption, but also for anyone interested in Japanese culture.
