The Japanese way of work is notoriously 'different'. But is it Japan or Britain which is the odd man out? This book explores the real differences, through a point-by-point comparison of two Japanese factories with two British ones making similar products.

The Japan of 1868 was a very different society: practically every samurai was literate and it was a world in which books abounded. This book presents a survey of the development and education during the period.
