Are Japanese people really industrious?

Once, by World War II, Japan died once and was born again.

"was born again."
I would like to express such.

In Japan of prewar days, and postwar Japan, it is changing dramatically.

Japan achieved the big economic growth represented by the "bubble" after the war.

What kind of situation does Japan of the period of the economic growth think it is?

- The consciousness as a capitalist state rooted strongly.

- Money-making was completed as it worked, when working.

- Money was not exhausted even if people bought many things needed.

- And all people had an illusion that such a time continued eternally.

However, such a time was ended around 1990.
Henceforth, economy of Japan has fallen rapidly.

And I was born in 1982.
Japan was quickly depressed and has looked at signs that the identity is lost.

And Japan is trying to change now when 20 years or more passed.
I am imagining and enjoying the end at which changing Japan arrives as a one Japanese.

A Japanese labor view

Japanese people are considered to be industrious.
That's right.
National working hours are long to top class also in the world.

Why are Japanese working hours long?
Probably, one has the loyalty to a company.
Japan came considering being faithful to the Lord as a virtue historically.
However, it is not a major factor.

The reason Japanese working hours are long is that it experienced rapid economic growth.
Economic growth changed the sense of values over labor of Japanese people.
The more it works, the more it profits.
Therefore, if time to work is lengthened, it will profit more mostly.

And people of the oldest age experienced the "bubble" among Japanese workers.
A change of generation will take place in ten years, and Japan will change gently.

Probably, a subsequent Japanese is also industrious.
However, it should come to work more efficiently than former.




To all the people that love Japan.
with love.
