Book Synopsis Japan: A Guide to Traditions, Customs and Etiquette by : Boye Lafayette De Mente
Book excerpt: "In Japan, the process of accomplishing a goal is just as significant, if not more significant, than the actual result--a notable contrast to the West. De Mente defines kata as the 'way things are supposed to be done,' and he educates readers on how the concept has shaped Japan throughout its history and the present. […] Japan: A Guide to Traditions, Customs and Etiquette is really an exploration of the Japanese psyche. -- JQ Magazine"
