Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-08 00:00:00 N.a. Stansbury This is an excellent resource for anyone studying Modern Japanese History, I've only read some of the book but I found it fantastic. Tipton's writing is clear, breif yet very informative and is never boring.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-20 00:00:00 Jack C Lindsley Three quick thoughts about this book: + This book seems to be everyone's reference to understand the Japanese social system. I have encountered the ideas of this books in several other works written about Japan. + The content is therefore not new to me. However, the biggest contribution of the book was the various concrete examples that illustrate the author's arguments. + The Japanese society has changed since the book was written (in the 70s). I would be more interested to read a revised version of this book that take into account several new aspects (globalization, the social model in start-up businesses, etc.).
