		Japan was unified under the Puyo leader Homuda, establishing an arc extending from the Han River basin in Korea, through southern Korea and northern Kyushu, over to Yamato.
		Since all societies are multicultural (as Japan in the early centuries certainly was, with elements from Korea, China, and the Ryukus represented) their various "subsystems" can contain alternate views of reality (such as kami worship) as long as they do not challenge the dominant political order.
		Though Japan lost the war (see Havens 1978 for social effects of this trauma), in many ways the pre-war infrastructure of government and industry, coupled with an ideology infused by notions of "uniqueness" and "spirit", remains in tact (van Wolferen 1989).

	ORIENTAL IREZUMI AND OCCIDENTAL TATTOOING IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN
		In Japan, tattooing is not considered to be a foreign, primitive habit, it has been a part of their culture since at least 500BC and although it has long been frowned upon and has suffered several periods of prohibition, a properly executed Japanese tattoo is beyond comparison in complexity and history.
		It is commonly believed that decorative tattooing came back into popularity in Japan as a result of criminals and untouchables trying to hide their bars and circles, and it is also proposed that the later practise of leaving the inner arm bare came about because this is where such tattoos were usually placed.
		The social climate in Japan does look like it will slowly change to one of greater acceptance and one which will recognise the differences between irezumi and tattoo and the possibility of different reasons for acquiring either, but at present the assumptions made about a decorated person are usually negative.

		As implied by the subtitle, A Year In Search of Wa, Karin Muller's book shapes up as a sort of contemporary Pilgrim's Progress, in which the writer undertakes a journey she hopes to be of benefit to her soul.
		Despite the genuine aspiration that was her first impetus, in the end Japan appears to have served for her as just another pretext for stimulus, activity, a head-on "tackling" of destiny.
		The primary theme being the quest of wa, inevitably there is heavy emphasis on traditional spiritual elements of Japan (judo, sumo, Yabusame, the Yamabushi, taiko drums, kabuki, geisha, the Zentsuji naked festival, the Shikoku pilgrimage).

		A very generous reader may say something along the lines of, “In order to work and play with the Japanese it is important to look to the same virtues that they themselves do, and strive to find common ground within a higher purpose.
