Understanding Japaneseness: A Fresh Look at Nipponjinron through "Maternal-filial Affection"

By Kosuke Nishitani

This book makes a distinctly new contribution to the field of Nipponjinron as a theological anthropology of Japaneseness. Through concrete examples, classic literature, historical analysis, and religious reflection, the author illuminates a new path to understanding Japaneseness by drawing the reader's attention to the lifeblood of Japanese behavior, "maternal-filial affection."
