A Must-Read

I met Keiko in 1963 in Mexico when she was representing Japan at an International Girl Scout Conference which I was leading. She and her husband have lived in Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Switzerland, Boston, and Washington, D.C.,as well as Japan. Rihito's work as a Bioethics leader has taken them to these various countries. They have three children--all accomplished adults.Keiko is an author of six books, has a magnificent voice, and is very involved in her church and community in Arlington, Va. She also has a ten minute radio spot, which she broadcasts from her home each week to Japan--telling about various events or activities in the USA.This is Keiko's first book in English. She sent me a copy, which I read the next day and was so enthusiastic that I ordered forty copies myself to distribute to friends. It is an outstanding description of Japanese morals, manners, and customs--a must read for anyone in contact with Japenese personally or professionally. It provides great insight into the Japanese culture and approach to life. As I said to Keiko, I've known you for thirty-five years and knew very little of this. I found it fascinating and hope you do, too.Julie Dawson
