The fundamental premise of this blog is that you get to the essence of a culture via its talents, not its problems. Ability, as Joseph Beuys put it, is the true human capital. Now, of course there’s a place for examinations of the stumbling blocks a culture faces on the way to its achievements. But I think the Dogs and Demons approach — examining Japan through its problems — does not get to the heart of Japan’s amazing achievements, and its massive success. Problems are distractions from the essence of something, someone, or some place, not a key to understanding it.
