<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The quintessence of unspoken mutual understanding is to be found in the word yoroshiku: 'You have understood what I want you to do. I have understood that you have understood what I want you to do. Therefore I leave it up to you to finish the task and I expect it to be done in the way I want it to be done. And I thank you for understanding me and agreeing to take the trouble to do the task.' All this in four syllables.</i><br><i><b></b>For all the apparent worship of the way of the warrior, being yasashii, which means being gentle, tender, caring, yielding and considerate, is very important in Japan. Asked what a Japanese values most in a potential spouse, both sexes tend to put being being yasashii at the top of their list of desirable virtues. The concept is even applied to the inanimate. For instance, a car or shampoo can be yasashii to you, to the eye, and to the environment.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Each book is an entertaining essay on the failings, foibles and good points of their subjects. Their humour is relaxed and gentle. --<i>Lancashire Evening Telegraph</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sahoko Kaji is an economist and a professor.
