Review

"Quick read with lots of interesting tid bits. Not only are rituals explored but also the ideas behind the rituals, so you learn about the behavior and the spirit of the Japanese..." --Goodreads.com

-The chapters in the book are brief and to the point. They cover introductions and relationships, business cards, bowing and shaking hands, seating and dining etiquette, praise and criticism, apologies and thanks, and even weddings, wakes, and funerals. I thought chapter on the origins of etiquette was very interesting and helpful. ... the book was well worth its cost. It is very helpful for business persons, but it will be useful to all first-time visitors.- --Phil Stripling, The Civilized Explorer
