Yoshio Sugimoto

Mouer and Sugimoto dismiss dominant theories about Japanese consensus-based harmony and instead propose a model of Japanese society based on conflict and control. Whether you believe their view or not, the authors succeed in debunking many of the myths of "Groupist" Japanese society.

Yoshio Sugimoto presents systematic introspection of Japanese culture through a multifaceted lens. The study integrates a series of literature compositions and conjectures by well-known intellects; diminishing the myth of Japan being a homogenous social order. Formerly know for its obstinate and inflexible cultural, religious and political principles; Japan amended its societal infrastructure integrating a secular and heterogeneous atmosphere whilst preserving its legacy and mores.
