言葉が空気に波動を伝える ばかりでなく、もっと強い物にもっと強く働き掛ける事ができるからです。

(Kotoba ga kūki ni hadō o tsutaeru bakaridenaku, motto tsuyoi mono ni motto tsuyoku hatarakikakeru koto ga dekirukaradesu.)

Words are not meant to stir the air only: they are capable of moving greater things.

Natsume Sōseki

Japan is the third largest economy in the world. The United States undoubtedly ranks first, and English is now the global language. China recently overtook Japan, and although Chinese will be a relevant language in the future, human development conditions and openness to the West are better in Japan. Also, in Japan there are important technology companies such as Sony, Toshiba, Sanyo, Casio, Canon, Minolta, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, among many others. If you are interested in business, engineering, manufacturing, research, economics or politics, Japan is an excellent opportunity for you.

Japan is a business opportunity. A typical Japanese household has over US $100,000 in savings and a monthly income of US $3,800. Japan is a large consumer of imports. Being able to communicate with potential customers in their own language is the key to winning in business, and more so in Japan, as entrepreneurs prefer to do business in their language. Understanding work ethics, business etiquette and knowing what not to do in Japanese culture is important to a successful deal.

The world's economic powers are moving to the Pacific. There are scholars of international relations who argue that if there used to be an Atlantic hegemony (the United States and Europe) it is now shifting to the Pacific. With Europe and the United States in crisis, countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and the Asian Tigers are seeing their opportunity to develop and help the Western economies to recover.

The Japanese are innovators. Considering that Japan is geographically an isolated island (pun intended) densely populated and resource-poor, its economic strength is impressive. The Japanese rely on their creativity and scientific knowledge to succeed not only economically, but also ecologically. The Japanese are known for their cutting-edge technology in robotics, optics and semiconductor manufacturing.
