Previous books on Japan have described in detail how the Japanese behave. Behind the Japanese Bow is the first book to explain why the Japanese think and behave as they do. In Behind the Japanese Bow veteran Japanologist Boye Lafayette De Mente, who has lived and worked in Japan for more than 25 years, reveals for the first time the existence of a comprehensive set of kata(kahtah) or 'cultural molds' that traditionally have created and controlled the character and behavior of the Japanese. These kata are the Rosetta stone of Japan's enigmatic culturethe keys that unlock the mystery and mystique surrounding the way the Japanese do business and conduct all of their personal and professional affairs. An understanding of the kata strips qway the cultural cloak that hides the Japanese from the outside world, and provides a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the 'Japanese Way.' To deal effectively with the Japanese. Westerners must not only be familiar with the kata, but must also know how and when to induce the Japanese to break the kata and behave in a nonJapanese way. Whatever your involvement is with Japan and the Japanese, Behind the Japanese Bow by Boye Lafayette De Mente is an indispensable aid to understanding why the Japanese think and behave as they do.
