A must read for anyone interested in an insight on Japan people, and how to behave as a turist or during business meetings.

I believe a key factor to successful communication with a foriegn culture is to understand that culture and the differences to your own. It is so easy to cause inadvertant offence through ignorance of boundaries in etiquette. This book gives a wonderful insight, not only on how seemingly normal (in the Western World) actions and responses could have far reaching and unintended reaction, but also an explanatory insight into why the Japanese culture can be expected to react that way. This fosters an understanding at a base level, allowing successful communication beyond learning the language.I thoroughly recommend this book as a must for for anyone embarking on a prolonged business relationship with Japanese counterparts, and advisory for those already finding such communication a challenge. There's so much more to successful communication than language alone.

Ok, travelers, will focus on you, but will also add some commentary for those seeking DNA elements of the Toyota Production System ("TPS", also known as "lean manufacturing").I am busy at home and work, so when a business trip to Japan was suggested, I wanted a brief, yet comprehensive book on basic etiquette. This author not only achieves both these aims, but also describes "why" customs and such are the way there are... knowing the "why" makes the "how" easier to do correctly, no matter how foreign (or contradictory) something might appear.Pro:+Brief, yet surprisingly comprehensive, details not only "how" things work, but the "why" as well+Awkward miscues (i.e. the whole bowing and shaking hands when exchanging business cards thing) and contradictory/confusing behaviors (e.g. friendly when one-on-one in the evening, but cold and distant the next day at work) finally explained!+Historical notes of where things came from was interesting as a traveler and practitioner of lean manufacturing as well... helps explain some of those little things that make TPS so hard to translate into a functional system in the WestCon:-None observed, and I pride myself on finding at least one observation to add balance to my reviews (and to build reviewing/observations skills as well)Bottom line: HIghly recommended for travelers. I think it is also a must read for passionate lean zealots.
