How did this happen? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeace can only be established where there is understanding. This book outlines the history and culture of two countries that evolved entirely differently, yet eventually found common ground. Most Americans know little about Japanese culture or history, and most Japanese only know America through entertainment programs, movies, and corporate media, which does not reflect the views of a significant proportion of Americans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe two authors are not historians. Ken comes from a working class family from Detroit. Nobu is a botanist and professor at a Japanese university, so we see things from different perspectives. This approach is much more accessible to the general reader than \"expert\" opinions, which often just reflect government or official narratives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCommon Bonds and Cultural Traditions of the People of the US and Japan offers a unique perspective outlines how understanding and acceptance of another culture can forge the bonds of peace and understanding that are so necessary in this era of contention and discord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nobuhiro Suzuki,Kenneth MacLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1615998632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781615998630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lhp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Nobuhiro Suzuki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000424931583,"sku":"9781615998630","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/common-bonds-and-cultural-traditions-nobuhiro-suzuki-9781615998630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
