Quote
- General Kajima: There are two Japanese words you should know. "Tatemae", the way things appear. "Honne", the way things really are. When you look at Japan, you see the most modern and westernised of Asian countries, but that is "tatemae", the surface.
- General Bonner Fellers: And "honne"?
- General Kajima: It is the true heartbeat of my country, which is more than 2000 years old, it has nothing to do with the west. Japan runs on the ancient warrior code of loyalty and obedience.
