Synopsis:
New edition. A study of Japan's traditional samurai culture, from its historical roots to its influence on the modern Japanese mind and its effect on international relations. Military rule and the martial tradition of the samurai have dominated Japanese culture for centuries, virtually to the present day. Cleary claims that the Japanese people have been so steeped in the way of the warrior that some of the manners and mentality of outlook remain embedded in their individual and collective consciousness. He shows us how well-known attributes such as the reserve and mystery of formal Japanese behaviour are deeply rooted in the ancient strategies of the traditional arts of war. Citing original sources that are popular among Japanese readers today, he reveals hidden forces behind Japanese attitudes and conduct in political, business, social, and personal life.

"The Japanese Art of War should be required reading for modern-day missionaries of Western business, politics, and culture." San Francisco Chronicle.

"Raises the art of understanding of Japan's national and corporate psychology to new - and eminently accessible - heights of clarity. Cleary's is, in fact, the clearest voice explaining East-West cultural differences that I have encountered in a long time. An amazing achievment." Alexander Besher, author.
