Deletion of 'Nihonjinron' section
I have deleted this section from the end of the article. Definitions of the term I've found (outside Wikipedia!) seem to imply that these theories about Japanese culture may have a racial edge to them. As I'm not familiar with the topic, and since what I've also found from a casual internet search seems pretty controversial, I've got rid of the section. I have other books on Japanese culture which are more factual, and will use these in the future. John Stephenson 09:47, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
Notes on Japanese culture
These should be covered:

- honne/tatamae - what is intended vs. what is said
- ie 家 - traditional household family structure
- gift-giving
