Book Description
"This book sets out to describe the anxiety and unrest that plague current Japanese society, the rift between the older, more traditional generations and the younger, more cosmopolitan and Westernized generations. Citing current academic studies and surveys, the author debunks seven common stereotypes of Japanese culture: collectivism, consciousness of others, perceptions of self, emotionality, the 'salaryman', education and lifetime employment, marriage." -- BOOK JACKET.
