TOKYO IS A BUSY, VIBRANT CITY, honest, polite, clean and friendly. I accidentally left my wallet on a coffee table and a client ran down the street to return it to me. The memorable intense rail commute where people are crushed together relies on the absence of pick-pockets. A society that has 1,500 seismic trembles a year naturally seeks safety and predictability in rigid complex social rules. During the day modest, quiet and orderly, they let their hair down in bars at night in large boozy male groups, bonding and rebonding the important societal glue, month after month, year after year.
