egglesby 1 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Anyone recommend a good recent book about Japanese society. I remember enjoying The Japanese Mind a long while back, but wondering if there are any good new ones that anyone has read recently. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Haha, I think I've probably read every book that Tuttle ever put out. When I first came to Japan I was a sucker for those little books that would explain it all to me. And what a load of crap so many of them were! Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 The Enigma of Japanese Power was an excellent book but it isn't recent, and unless it's been extensively revised, it must be quite out of date. Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I enjoyed that one too, was a long while back though. At the time I seem to remember enjoying the Japanese Mind too. Link to post Share on other sites
