We are all human beings before being business people, who need propriety, according to this groundbreaking book by Kuniko Fujiyama. She states that all the ingredients we need to succeed and be decent people can be found in teachings we learned in elementary school. This spirit of propriety results in the acquisition of essential skills, which also leads us to great business performance. Through well-established company training, Fujiyama brings “ideas and teaching” to a variety of business people. Now all these tips are contained in one book. ・Be a decent person and conduct yourself with propriety. ・Know what to change and what to keep. ・Any success is by accident. Any mistake is meant to be. ・Do what you can do - the “spirit of handicap.” ・Always be responsible - irresponsibility ruins business. ・Make sure that everything is okay and always do your best - “the rule of 1:29:300.” ・Morality matters, benefits come afterwards. The way we handle benefits is of value to companies. ・Learn from customers. ・How-to manuals do not create real customer service.

This book traces the past 150 years of Japan’s diplomatic history, focusing on the thoughts and actions of the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since the ministry’s establishment in 1869. It includes a discussion of the last fifteen years of the Edo period, beginning with the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1854. Since the Meiji era, Japan’s foreign policy has been informed by its response to that “confrontation from the West.” This foreign policy has been largely based on “accommodation diplomacy” (also called responsive diplomacy). Japan has designed its diplomatic response with an eye to its own foreign policy goals, applying the metric of what might be feasible more than what might be desirable. In “accommodation diplomacy,” the international issues, international order, and the rules of the game are not defined. In that sense, there has been no all-encompassing strategy behind Japan’s foreign policy. Instead, Japan has regarded the international situation simply, as a set of facts. It has sought to maximize the benefits to itself while minimizing risk. Its foreign policy has been an attempt to solve this conundrum through accommodation. Reflective of the times, this has required an abundance of creativity. Japan has needed to be both pragmatic and forward-thinking in its response to changes in the international environment. In the postwar period, as Japan aimed to elevate its standing in the competition-driven international environment, its foreign policy can be understood as an extension of the way it had comported itself since the Meiji era: emphasizing cooperation and coordination with other nations while responding to changes in the international environment.

“Since the taste of leftover wine gets worse and worse after opening the bottle, you must drink up the wine in the bottle after opening it” “You should combine Burgundy lamb dishes when you take this certain wine”….Are these “useful” instructions really correct? Kenichi Shimizu is not only a Doctor of Microbiology, but also a world-class consultant on brewing technology. This book is an introductory book that solves general questions about wine from a scientist's point of view. Various positive effects of wine on human health have recently come up in the conversation. “Red wine is helpful for anti-aging” “Red wine can protect us from heart diseases” “Red wine can prevent dementia”….Numerous health-friendly substances have been found in wine indeed, but there is too much misinformation. This book also unravels the truth of various discourses in media such as TV, magazines or the internet on the health benefits of wine.　※『ワインの秘密』を英訳し、電子書籍として配信いたします。
