The story is a personal reflection on the author's experiences and observations while visiting Japan, primarily Tokyo. It explores the contrast between the external image of Japan, characterized by cleanliness, courtesy, and rituals, and the internal aspects that may not be immediately apparent to outsiders. The author highlights the beauty and fashion sense of the Japanese people, particularly in Tokyo, where well-dressed individuals are prevalent.
The story delves into the demeanor of the Japanese people, noting that they appear reserved and less expressive of their emotions in public compared to other East and Southeast Asian cultures. The concept of "losing face" is discussed, emphasizing the importance of avoiding situations that could bring shame to oneself, one's family, or even the entire nation.
The narrative also touches upon the drinking culture in Tokyo, where businessmen engage in heavy drinking after work, often to the point of drunkenness. This behavior is considered normal, and "losing face" for a Japanese man is leaving a corporate drinking session. In contrast, women are described as more moderate drinkers, and many opt to stop working after marriage to focus on their families. The author also notes the lack of jealousy among Japanese wives when their husbands return home inebriated after a night out with colleagues.
Overall, the story provides insights into the cultural nuances and social dynamics of Japan, offering a glimpse into both the external and internal facets of this intriguing country as seen through the eyes of the author.
