"Astute...a thoroughly entertaining read." - The Japan Times Perhaps no single word in any language encapsulates a country’s mainstream working lifestyle the way “salaryman” does in Japan. If a Japanese person asks you “what do you do?” and you reply “I’m a sarariman”, you’ll likely get a laugh and a knowing look because they instantly understand the refined office rituals, polite mannerisms and nocturnal consumption that define your life. They’ll easily be able to imagine your diet, social life and wardrobe. A deeper understanding of Japan – and a lot of good comedy - comes from reading how a Westerner learns to live like the typical Japanese office worker. This book offers readers the dual benefits of laughing and learning through the experience of an American who was thrown into the offices of some of the most traditional companies in Japan. The book features more than 70 manga-style illustrations depicting hilarious workplace situations, offering a street-level study of Japanese culture that lovers of workplace humor, world travelers and Japan tourists will guzzle down faster than a salaryman does his first beer after work.

Download and read online ebook Re-reading the Salaryman in Japan write by Romit Dasgupta. This book was released on 2013. Re-reading the Salaryman in Japan available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book uses the figure of the salaryman to explore masculinity in Japan by examining the salaryman as a gendered construct, and is one of the first to focus on the men within Japanese corporate culture through a gendered lens. Not only does this add to the emerging literature on masculinity in Japan, but given the important role Japanese corporate culture has played in Japan's emergence as an industrial power, Romit Dasgupta's research offers a new way of looking both at Japanese business culture, and more generally at important changes in Japanese society in recent years.

"Sujata Massey blasts her way into fiction with The Salaryman's Wife, a cross-cultural mystery of manners with a decidedly sexy edge."-- Janet Evanonich Japanese-American Rei Shimura is a 27-year-old English teacher living in one of Tokyo's seediest neighborhoods. She doesn't make much money, but she wouldn't go back home to California even if she had a free ticket (which, thanks to her parents, she does.) She's determined to make it on her own. Her independence is threatened however, when a getaway to an ancient castle town is marred by murder. Rei is the first to find the beautiful wife of a high-powered businessman, dead in the snow. Taking charge, as usual, Rei searches for clues by crashing a funeral, posing as a bar-girl, and somehow ending up pursued by police and paparazzi alike. In the meantime, she attempts to piece together a strange, ever-changing puzzle—one that is built on lies and held together by years of sex and deception. The first installment in the Rei Shimura series, The Salaryman's Wife is a riveting tale of death, love, and sex, told in a unique cross-cultural voice.
