It is my beief that no Westerner is able to define the Japanese culture accurately. While what many Westerners write might sound authentic, even to some Japanese, it is only the Japanese who are able to understand "Japanese character."
During World War Two, the definition of the Japanese was easy to define, especially in propagana, however, once the Treaty of Peace was signed in San Francisco in 1952, Japan's transformation became a national miracle in that the entire nation of Japan succeeded in terms of its economy like no other nation on earth had ever succeeded. When one looks at the ruins of Japan in 1945 and the nation as it is today, there is no Westerner capable of explaining how the Japanese transformed those ruins into one of the world's most brilliant economic powers on earth.
