The Mouse That Roared
On March 7, 1940, Saito Takao, a conservative Diet member repre- senting a rural constituency, was expelled from the Diet as punishment for a speech he had given in the Diet on February 2, 1940, criticizing Japan's holy war in China. Leading the push for Saito's expulsion were numerous figures who later held top positions in the Nihon Shakaito (Japan Socialist Party). By analyzing Saito's speech and the movement to expel him, this essay attempts …

Japanese Engineers and American Myth Makers
J APANESE success in manufacturing and exporting has produced a steady stream of explanations for that success. Over the years, cheap labor, industrial policy, business-government links (Japan, Inc.), general trading companies (sogo shosha), high leverage (gearing), high savings rates, QC (quality control) circles, the kanban (ust in time) system, and others have been offered as keys, or even the key, to Japanese success. Some of these explanatio…
The Fifth Generation Fallacy
For several years much attention has been focused on Japan's highly publicized Fifth Generation Project, a research programme aimed at the development of 'intelligent' computers that can think like human beings. It has been claimed that such machines are the technology of the future, and whoever gets them first will emerge as the new leader of the world economy. In this book J. Marshall Unger shows that the West has completely misunderstood Japan…

The Self-Made Man in Meiji Japanese Thought
WHAT could be more timely than a book on 'getting ahead' in Japan! As Toyotas, Yamahas, and Sonys flow out upon the world in an unending stream, there is a growing fascination with the society that has achieved such productiveness. To be sure, Professor Kinmonth's study doesn't treat the recent postwar decades. It centers on the Meiji era; but as his subtitle, 'From Samurai to Salary Man', indicates, he is concerned with the larger transition fro…
The Self-Made Man in Meiji Japanese Thought
Nakamura Keiu and Samuel Smiles
IN EARLY 1868, shortly after toppling the Tokugawa house, the leaders of the new Meiji government issued a proclamation known as the Charter Oath. The common people, no less than the civil and military officials, it declared, be allowed to pursue [their] own calling[s] so that there shall be no discontent.' This statement implied that the new government was dedicated to dismantling the social structure of the previous regime, a structure based la…
Fukuzawa Reconsidered
Fukuzawa Yukichi (1835-1901) is quite possibly the best-known, most widely studied, and most frequently quoted writer of the early Meiji period. More of his writings have been translated into English than those of any other nonliterary Meiji writer. So much attention is given to Fukuzawa that he often appears astheMeiji intellectual. One recent textbook describes him as nothing less than "the most influential man in Meiji Japan outside government…
