No work on Japan has attempted to tell so profoundly and from so many aspects the development of the ideology of the Japanese as it is reflected in the daily manners and customs of their life. This recognized classic of cultural anthropology is of enduring interest as a contribution to the history of human thought, and as an illumination of the cause and conduct of World War II it is of primary importance.
