Japanese Culture

Does anyone know an easy to read and informative book that discusses about Japanese business etiquette and ethics of the 21th century? I’m not looking for a book on Japanese culture, but business
etiquette like how the Japanese do business and traditions they must do. I’m also not looking for a novel, but more like a textbook-like book; a book that has no plot.

Here’s an interesting website on that very thing:

Note: Even the etiquette applied to business cards is quite different than ours.

Add: Found this on Amazon: Japanese Business Etiquette: A Practical Guide to Success With the Japanese by Diana Rowland.

I have the privilege of meeting him in a couple weeks after i complete a multi-million dollar business deal with Mitsubishi and I read on the internet that this is the proper way to greet him. I was skeptical at first but i found it on multiple websites. Have any of you guys met him personally or just have an idea of the proper etiquette?

Yes it’s how they do it in Japan. You have to get on your knees, and the Emperor will drop his pants and turn around. Then you give his butt cheeks a gentle lick each. Don’t overdo it….that’s considered extremely poor taste.

This is actually where the term ‘crawly bum-licker’ originated from.
