Seller's Description:
NEAR FINE in NEAR FINE jacket. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, so stated. [6], 7-170 pp. 21.5 x 16 cm. Brown muslin cloth, tan stamped spine lettering, tan cold-pressed endpapers. A few spots of foxing to edges and small stain to tail edge, a tight, square copy otherwise; DJ shows some trivial shelfwear, clean and bright otherwise, unclipped with price of $7.95 and ¥1, 800 publisher's sticker intact; now wrapped in mylar. 'Published in Japan as *Amae no Kozo* (The Structure of Amae), Dr. Doi's work is focused upon the word 'amae' (indulgence) and its related vocabulary. Expressive of an emotion central to the Japanese experience, 'amae' refers to the in-dulging, passive love which surrounds and supports the individual in a group, whether family, neighborhood, or the world at large. Considering the lack of such words in Western languages, Dr. Doi suggests inherent differences between the two cultures-contrasting the ideal of self-reliance with those of interdependence and the indulgence of weaknesses. Yet, he finds that Western audiences have no difficulty in recognizing and identifying with the emotions he describes, and are even searching for a way to express this need. '-From the DJ flap.
