Annotation: Japan offers a fascinating case study of how geographical, political, and historical factors shape a country's economy and culture. Japan boasts a near-99% literacy rate, competitive high-tech industries, and a rich cultural heritage, which includes the distinctive No and Kabuki theatrical traditions. From the silk-weaving families of the 15th century to the elite corporate practice of Shushin Koyo (permanent employment), this primary-source resource offers readers a dynamic visit to the Land of the Rising Sun.
