I'm on my fourth trip to Japan in a few weeks; the trips have all been in support of a business relationship with a Japanese company that my company started about one year ago.That said, the book provides lots of good information about manners, behavior, and social context for the Japan of the 1980's/1990's. The Japan of the 1980's/1990's is very different from the Japan of 2001-2002, but on the plus side, the manners and information in the book provide a can't-go-wrong baseline. Also, the book is thin enough to read on the flight over.It's definitely worth the money, and I haven't found an equivalent book with more up-to-date information.
