Title: Hit the nail on the head.
Review: I spent a significant part of my childhood growing up in Tokyo, and I developed my own intuitive understanding of the japanese system... But when I read this book, (not having been exposed to the real details of politics, etc, as a young'un), It really crystallized my intuitions into a coherent picture, and I found myself saying "Yeah! That's right -- everything I thought about that was true, but this makes it all so clear..."The most amazing realization though, (and I agree with it), is that so many aspects of what Japanese people are told is their "culture," have been manufactured slowly through the years by the bureaucracy, for their own ends... Even if you think you know Japan, you should read this book.
