A section of this book that references a dialogue about being bound to a Wheel of Birth and Death describes the importance of “living as already dead” (-5[1])for its subjects. This book’s first section describes the extensive “but also’s” in discussing contradictions in its subject, such as “disciplined to the hilt” but “insubordinate.” This book discusses a U-curve plotting freedom (15[1])against age (15[1])that affords babies and the elderly the most (15[1])indulgence. (-5[1])The eternally unpayable gimu and the importance of (*) “clearing one’s name” (10[1])in (10[1])paying the moral debt of giri are discussed (10[1])in this book commissioned by the Office of War Information. This book distinguishes between the “shame culture” of its subject and the (10[1])“guilt culture” of the United States. For 10 points, name this study of Japanese culture by Ruth Benedict. ■END■ (10[2])
