It was a war in which the boys of Little Tokyo

— a part of the everyday language.

In May 1946, Shigeru Yoshida reportedly said that coun­
tries that had been defeated in war frequently won the peace
through diplomacy. Just having assumed the premiership, he accepted. the restrictions imposed upon his defeated nation by the victorious Americans, but he proposed to capitalize on the shifting ve­
lations among the world powers to ameliorate the suffering of
Japan.
For the greater part, the career of Yoshida had been in
accord with the traditional pattern — graduation from Tokyo Impe­
rial University followed by appointment to minor diplomatic posts.
In 1936, he was appointed ambassador to London.
During the war, he deviated from the official line; the mi­
litarists arrested him for allegedly heading a “defeatist” peace
faction. Upon the surrender of Japan, he gained freedom.
The ill-odor in which he had been held by the militarists
rendered Yoshida less objectionable to the Occupation. Nevertheless,
the rise to power of the Socialists in 1947 ousted him from the
Six-Year Tenure

Socialist bungling disillusioned the voters with radical reform.
The moderate Yoshida returned to office in 1948; he remained in it
until December 1954.
Presenting the case of Japan against the background of the
cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, and
the military victories of the Communists in China, Yoshida skill­
fully traded upon the anticommunist sentiment in America and in
the Occupation. America ceased regarding Japan as a defeated
enemy and began to treat her as a valued ally.
So great became the change in American opinion that Y oshida felt impelled to resist American pressure to have Japan
rearm. In San Francisco, Sept. 8, 1951. “just six years after an
inglorious defeat,” Yoshida signed a peace treaty with America
enabling Japan “to rejoin, on equal and favorable terms, the fa­
mily of nations.”
A bureaucrat who ignored public opinion as he went about
achieving his goals, Yoshida antagonized the voters, but that his
insistence on both economic recovery and economic collaboration
with the United States was basically correct has been amply demon­
strated. .. Shigeru Yoshida, more than any other single human
being, can fairly be said to have been responsible for the Japanese
economic expansion that was to astonish an envious world.”
Cultural Homogeneity

The story of Yoshida is only a minor part of this chronicle
of the rise of Japan from the prostration of defeat to prosperity and
world eminence. Japan is indebted to leaders such as Yoshida, but
the nation itself through directing its intelligence and energy to­
wards a common goal contributed to the meteoric rise.
Among the things that made possible the concentrated na­
tional effort is the cultural homogeneity of the Japanese mid the
high literacy rate. Since the beginning of the Meiji era, in 1868,
Japan has shown a voracious appetite for Western knowledge and
technology. The Occupation abolished almost all the physical and
psychological barriers to the acquisition of such information, and
as the information flowed into the country the cultural homoge­
neity of the nation facilitated free diffusion.
So marked a characteristic of Japanese society is this informationalization” that Japan is reputed to be the only nation with
a word for the phenomenon — johoka. The exercise of johoka

Index Missing

The text breathes optimism and self-confidence. There is a
foreword by E.O. Reischauer, former American ambassador to Ja­
pan. There are many photographs to illustrate the points made. An
index would have improved the work and made it valuable as a

A professor at Kyoto University, the author graduated from
the Jaw faculty of Kyoto U. in 1957. From 1960 to 1962, he did
research in international politics at Harvard. He has organized
his material well; he writes clearly though verbosely.
