Japan Quotes

For 200 years, the dominant powers have also been the colonial powers: the European countries, the U.S. and Japan. They have never been required to pay their dues for what they did to those whom they possessed and treated with contempt Picture Quote #1

I was a senior high school student at the Far Eastern University when the war with Japan broke out in 1941 Picture Quote #1

There’s an interesting book called The Fugu Plan, written by Marvin Tokayer and Mary Swartz, which describes the circumstances when European Jews came to Japan, a semi-feudal society Picture Quote #1

In Japan, violence isn’t as controversial as it is in the West. Pornography is more restricted, but it’s not hard to make a crazy, extremely violent film Picture Quote #1

Traveling is definitely something that your average 17-year-old doesn’t get to do. One week we’re in Japan, one week we’re in Australia, one week we’re back home going to football games Picture Quote #1

I’ve been to Japan so many times, but I still constantly stumble across things that are so foreign to me Picture Quote #1

Japan is a well-educated, technological society. It is a free society, protects intellectual property Picture Quote #1

Sushi is something very exclusive. It is not like a McDonald’s, not like a hot dog, not like a French fry. It’s very high-class cooking in Japan Picture Quote #1

After its defeat in the Second World War, Japan, unlike Germany, failed to show true contrition or give a fulsome apology, though it showered its neighbours, including China, with generous economic assistance. Only in 1995 did it finally offer an apology, but this was of the most limited and formulaic kind Picture Quote #1

People give me things at shows-the Robot from Japan. What I would treasure the most is a little doll of the general from the movie-and if they don’t make it, I’ll make my own and bring it to shows and sign it Picture Quote #1

We have a lot of customers in Japan, but they don’t quite get the local content that they always need, so we want to encourage all of our product teams to start thinking globally Picture Quote #1

Go to any Shinto temple in Japan and you’ll see it: a simple stand from which hang hundreds of wooden postcard-size plaques with a colorful image on one side and, on the other, densely scribbled Japanese characters in black felt-tip pen, pleas to the gods for help or succor Picture Quote #1

If we could muster the same determination and sense of responsibility that saves a country like Japan - or a company like Xerox - then investing to save women and children who are dying in the developing world would be very good business Picture Quote #1

Japan had the big earthquake in 2011, and the Olympics will be a good opportunity to bring strength to the people of the Tohoku region - and also to show everyone around the world that Japan is doing fine again. These are messages we have to convey through the power of sport Picture Quote #1

Government bonds have basically been sold in the domestic market, so there is some sense of stability, but the amount of public debt is really severe... Japan must manage its finances with a sense of urgency Picture Quote #1

Japan has really great fans for all kinds of music. I think they’re keeping metal alive Picture Quote #1

These are the highlights in a lifetime of following sports. Hilarity. The most sheer fun I ever had in sports was playing volleyball, a game I commend highly ... if you have ever seen the great women s teams of Japan and Russia or the equally good men’s teams of Cuba and East Germany, you know how exciting this playground game, which requires so little equipment, can be Picture Quote #1

We were in Japan once where they had 30 kinds of green tea. I thought there was one Picture Quote #1

Maitake mushrooms are known in Japan as ‘the dancing mushroom.’ According to a Japanese legend, a group of Buddhist nuns and woodcutters met on a mountain trail, where they discovered a fruiting of maitake mushrooms emerging from the forest floor.

When I was in Japan with my girlfriend Jessica, she would have had acupuncture every day if she could. I can just about stomach going to a chiropractor and I visited a talented one when I was there, but when he tried a needle on me, it was horrible. My muscles tightened and it didn’t work at all Picture Quote #1

A very enjoyable meditation on the curious thing called ‘Zen’ -not the Japanese religious tradition but rather the Western clich of Zen that is embraced in advertising, self-help books, and much more. . . . Yamada, who is both a scholar of Buddhism and a student of archery, offers refreshing insight into Western stereotypes of Japan and Japanese culture, and how these are received in Japan Picture Quote #1

Like the Britain of Beaverbrook and Kipling, Japan in the early twentieth century was a jingoistic nation, subduing weaker countries with the help of populist politicians and sensationalist journalism Picture Quote #1
