Describes the Japanese national character as a paradoxical complex of restraint and passion, arrogance and servility, pride in being Japanese and apology for being Japanese.  Explains that Japan, more than any other nation has wavered between such contradictory attitudes and qualities.  Discusses the concept of "force" and what it means to Japanese to be part of a group.
