Query: Dated and academic

This book is copyright 1990. In preparing for a 2nd trip to Japan, it clearly seems dated. Almost no account for the fact that the Japanese will take into account the fact that your from the west. Also, the book speaks from an academic background. The references are primarily other acadamecians. The author does not appear to speak from experience.Regardless of this, there is still valuable information here.
