A collection of stories rooted in deep personal and professional connections to Japanese culture. Jim’s fascination with Japan began during his undergraduate years as an East Asian Studies major, leading him to spend his junior year at Tokyo’s prestigious Waseda University, where he immersed himself in the language, customs, and daily life of Japanese society. This formative experience opened doors to his first professional role with a Japanese bank, providing him with unique insights into both the business culture and personal relationships that define modern Japan. Through these stories, Jim explores the rich tapestry of Japanese life and the Japanese-American experience, drawing from his academic foundation and lived experiences to offer readers an authentic perspective on a culture that has profoundly shaped his worldview.
