Some really amazing anecdotes and stories about Japanese culture in general. It's long, but worth reading through. The bits about the relationships between Corporations and their Salarymen are particularly interesting.

It was a story he had chosen not to tell — until 2015, when he sat for a four-hour interview, promised that this account would not be published while he was alive.
