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.

bra bok om japan
Yuuha87 (Linköping), 10 april 2014

Om man vill veta mycket om Japan så är det här en bok jag verkligen kan rekommendera. Den är bra uppbyggd och väldigt lärrik. Den har ett bra språk och känns välarbetad. Det är väldigt aktuella teman i boken som tas upp och den känns väldigt modern.
