I wrote the book on Japanese culture to try to help westerners understand Japan and its people. I wrote it to be read, not to be published. Lately it’s been getting in the way of me writing a book on Bhutan. To get it out of the way, I’ve decided to put it on this site in full. Feel free to download it and share it, but please pass it on as is, or better still, refer your friends and colleagues to this site.
I’m looking forward to reading the full version, since I’ve only ever seen bits and pieces. Still, I’ve enjoyed what I read. I’ll be passing this book on. I know some people who should find it interesting.
Thanks for freeing up your work, although I was looking forward to buying the book when it was published. There’s something more satisfying about having a book there in your hand, compared to reading an electronic version.
