About the book

"This book, by a distinguished Japanese economist now resident in the West, offers a new interpretation of the current success of the Japanese economy. By placing the rise of Japan in the context of its historical development, Michio Morishima shows how a strongly-held national ethos has interacted with religious, social and technological ideas imported from elsewhere to produce highly distinctive cultural traits"--P. [4] of cover.

First sentence: Throughout her history until the Meiji Revolution (1867-68) Japan was under the influence of Chinese culture; cultural stimuli and encouragement came from China either directly or through Korea.
