Japanese are often stereotyped as sheep or lemmings. Watching economic trends or fashion fads the "bandwagon" effect seems obvious to our western sensibilities. I don't buy it. People in Japan are individuals like everyone else. The difference is, they don't wear it on their sleeves.Next time you order from Amazon check out if they have any used books about Chiune Sugihara. This guy risked his life and career and saved around 5000 Jews during the WWII. (40,000 descendants)
