Editorial Review:
"Jane Seymour examines how Japan's ancient traditions have blended with new technology and modern trends to shape the society and its people today..." "THE SWORD AND THE CHRYSANTHEMUM: takes a close look at what the West sees as a paradox in Japanese society as represented by the Samurai warrior, who combined an appreciation of beauty and high culture with fighting aggression. The Samurai spirit is examined as to how it shaped the history and is now shaping the future of Japan. Much of the warrior history is still a part of everyday life in Japan today, from the rock gardens and tea ceremonies to the violence of Japan's popular culture in comic books and television programs that is contrary to the relative safety of the cities in Japan. Ninja warriors, sumo wrestlers and other festivals round out the second installment of this series."
