This article focuses on the book "Japan in Transition," by Emil Lederer and Emy Lederer-Seidler. There is a general tendency to look upon Japan as a Westernized country, or as one that is being progressively Westernized. These are the externals of Japan's striking modernization, much more apparent than the underlying continuance of old attitudes and processes in Japanese life. The authors have distilled the essence of the old Japan as it finds expression in the present. To this task they have brought philosophical comprehension, keen appreciation, and sympathetic insight.
