Introduction (Appearances Can Be Deceiving)Welcome to the most extraordinary place on Earth, where people are better and things nicer than anywhere else. To explore it, I will leave you in good hands. You will be guided by eminent ambassadors, academics, business consultants, publicists and authors. Admittedly, all of them are foreign. But they claim special insight into things Japanese.

Narrative

Crime (Integrating The Criminal Element)Crime. Now, who should we quote? There is such an abundance of eminently quotable quotes. And most of them scrupulously follow Reischauer‘s dictum: “never, never, never be anything but wildly optimistic about Japan.’‘

Condense

Quality Of Life (If You Can Call That Quality)1988 was a historic year for Japan. In that year, its per capita gross national product became the largest in the world, passing the United States, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, and leaving the developing countries far behind. The figure was $19,547 per person.
