Today, Japanese literally get pushed into trains, packed like sardines, and go on with life without complaining because they know that living in harmony is their only choice. There is no alternative. They must, so they do. It is really beautiful to see a whole nation, a whole history and have a little understanding of how and why they are as they are. Just as beautiful is to know that over the past 5,000 years they have not left their staple.
Rice is still at the heart of Japan.
