    Basic categories of human development are not necessarily sorted out the same way in every society. A case in point is what Japanese call “spiritual training” (seishin kyōiku), a range of experience based on forms of instruction that entail a mixture of physical ordeals, lessons in social morality, and character building.

  • Order in Japanese Society: Attachment, Authority, and Routine

    Thomas P RohlenARTICLEJournal of Japanese Studies1989Cited by: 17

    ion, is difficult to fine-tune, but it certainly carries rather profound implications for Western social science theory as applied to Japan. As already mentioned, the assumption of individual independence is central to such things as the expectation of rational choice and the instinct for freedom. evidence of differences along these lines has slowly been piling up. Studies of infants indicate that Japanese mothers provide more physical contact an…

  • Invisible Barriers: American Companies in the Japanese Marketplace

    Thomas P RohlenARTICLEAsian Affairs An American Review1985

    take invisible barriers very seriously, but unlike many others, I do I not think that the Japanese government is responsible for most of them. What keeps American companies from doing better in Japan is a broad and complex issue. It requires that we examine the Japanese marketplace and ask what it takes for foreign firms to succeed. For the past twenty or thirty years Japan has been one of the most dynamic nations, if not the most dynamic, in the…

  • Seishin Kyōiku in a Japanese Bank: A Description of Methods and Consideration of Some Underlying Concepts

    Many Japanese companies, including the bank reported here, offer moral and spiritual training for new employees. Zen meditation, endurance walks, military boot camp experiences and the like teach fortitude, cooperation, self‐confidence and other qualitites of character and spiritual development. The attention to such education by modern corporations is notable. It reflects the particularly close ties between companies and their employees in Japan

    Thomas P RohlenBOOKJapan's High Schools1983

    Rohlen's book achieves exciting conjectural stances while providing us with rich and trustworthy substantive data and description. His treatment of schools as 'moral communities,' his call for new, culturally sensitive definitions of moral and creative goals in children's education, his interest in the consensus between parent, school, and society which underlies effective schooling are reason alone why this book should be read by anyone interest…
