A carefully explained, detailed analysis of communication styles unique to the Japanese. Very useful book for business, politics, and general engagement between Japanese and non-Japanese persons. Published by the Japan Times by a well-recognized author on Japanese communications. This is not a language book, but rather a cultural description of the use of color, personal space, types of self-expression, body language, and many more topics that are part of communication among Japanese speakers. Very interesting read and useful to improve communication with Japanese speakers.
