This book examines all facets of Japanese life - the history of the country, its traditions, its arts, its attitude to the rest of the world, the role of women. You will learn that few females attain management positions, though they continue to dominate the home. Women will usually have absolute control over the family budget, since eight out of 10 workers hand over their pay cheques to their wives. Even successful women accept the division of labour. To remain a woman, and still be able to improve the quality of life for the rest - this is what I want to do.

Here are the objective views of experts in these and other aspects of Japanese life, brought unforgettably alive in more than 100 colour photographs. With this wealth of information, you will be able ot come to your own conclusions as to where Japan is heading.
