PRAISE FOR

THE JAPANESE MIND:

UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY

JAPANESE CULTURE,

EDITED BY ROGER J. DAVIES AND OSAMU IKENO

“Bursting with powerful analysis”

The Daily Yomiuri, September 8, 2002

 The best introduction to Japanese society since Takie and William Lebra’s landmark 1970s reader Japanese Culture and Behavior.

 The text is a model of plain, clear English.

 A book stuffed to bursting with powerful analysis and sparkling intuition.

“Required reading”

The Times of London, January 15, 2004

 Cited in The Times of London as required reading for individuals wanting to learn more about contemporary Japanese culture.

“A marvelous book”

Shinichi Yamanaka: Director, General Affairs Division

Japanese Ministry of Education (Monbukagakusho)

 The Japanese Mind will benefit many foreign students who want to study about Japan and will also help many Japanese students who would like to explain key concepts of Japanese culture.

 I hope this book will help to span East and West.

“Immensely enlightening”

Robert O'Neill: Author and EFL textbook writer

 Clearly written, extremely informative, and very useful.

 Helps enormously in understanding what is going on in the minds of Japanese students.

 A good and useful book—a classic.

“Thought provoking”

Emeritus Professor Carl James

Chairman: The Association of Language Awareness

 A highly commendable book that should appeal to a wide readership.

“Outstanding writing”

Susan Keith, International Culture Major, Boise State University

Letter to Tuttle Publications

 As a student, I sincerely applaud this book—it is honest, dedicated, experienced, and supremely understandable.

 My highest compliments to the authors—I have never been so intellectually enlightened and informed.”
