Britain and Japan have much in common. This book explores both the parallels and the differences then goes on to outline some of the reasons that lie behind them. It also highlights many myths and stereotypes that surround both countries. Many aspects of Japanese and British history are similar. This is especially true in the manner that both absorbed successive waves of ideas and influences from the mainland. They then adapted these to suit their respective cultures. This is erroneously regarded by some as being unique to Japan.Other writers before me have compared the UK and Japan but this book is an attempt to take that one step further. A selection of topics from literature and marriage to history and politics are covered. It is my hope that this book will be a bridge to a deeper understanding of both cultures.
