In The Japanese Mind, Roger Davies offers Westerners an insightful guide to understanding the unique aspects of Japanese culture.
Readers of this book will develop a comprehensive grasp of Japanese society and the core values that remain at its foundation.
Among the topics explored are:

• aimai (ambiguity), amae (dependence upon others’ benevolence), and amakudari (the nation’s descent from heaven)
• chinmoku (silence in communication), gambari (perseverance), and giri (social obligation)
• haragei (literally, “belly art”; implicit, unspoken communication), kenkyo (the appearance of modesty), and 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.

With discussion topics and questions after each chapter, 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.
Next in this series:
Now available separately, Japanese Culture: The Religious and Philosophical Foundations is a fascinating journey through Japan’s rich cultural history.
