Chapter 4 in The Success of Competitive-Communism in Japan, 1988, pp 35-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Exclusive, self-contained cliques automatically create outsiders. The stronger the consolidation within the fraternities and their cells, the higher the barriers that exclude all others. Distinctions between insiders and outsiders are found in all countries, but in Japan the cleavage is sharp. It permeates and dominates everyone’s life. High walls have been erected by intimate human relations which demand an absolute dependence on close associates who protect each other communally and remain aloof from outsiders. Rigid divisions between insiders and outsiders account for the greatest divergence between the Japanese culture and all others.
