Hello again! Japan’s presence and ever-growing influence on the rest of the world is greater than ever. University of Tokyo lecturer and downright nice guy, Roland Kelts, takes a closer look at what’s going on in his incredible book, Japanamerica. Amidst a whirlwind press tour of the world, Roland (no newspaper-style surname using here!), took the time to chat in-depth with us about his book and the influence of Japan.

Wait right there though! You can win a copy of this very fine book, right here on Plastic Bamboo! Just send an email to stuart [at] plasticbamboo.com telling me what you think the one thing the West should take from Japan is. Roland mentioned some of the things he thought would be beneficial in the interview, so you can’t use those ones! Best/funniest/stupidest/extremely-serious answer will win. I might even get Roland to judge it, providing he’s not in a bad mood with me for taking so long to post this. Good luck!
