I'm afraid Japanese people tend to collective hysteria.

Japanese businesspeople and companies are lacking in individuality.

We are a country of artisans and a country of manufacturing. I think Japanese textile technology is the best in the world.

Japan has only 100m people. Asia has 4bn. At least one-third, maybe nearly half, will become middle class, and this is a big opportunity for Japanese businessmen.

I'd not underestimate the competitive powers of the Japanese people.

Japanese people have a funny habit of abbreviating names.
