- Abstract:
- Three articles originally published in the American electronic literary magazine Webgeist: 1) "Olympic Results Reflect Trajectory of Post-War Japan," 2) "Language as a Window into Japanese Culture," and 3) "Educational Rigors Begin Early in East Asia." The series begins lightheartedly observing patterns in post-War Japanese society, secondly delves into Japanese language and culture while still maintaining some humor, and finally goes down to the neighborhood level where the author raised two happy-go-lucky sons with his Japanese wife.
- Notes:
- The author has published relatively little commentary about Japan itself, perhaps because seeing the variegations as a specialist makes it difficult to generalize. These writings nonetheless aim to be interesting as well as meaningful.
