THE SALARYMAN
Post WW II – 1990 archetype of

“Company warrior” Keisha Senshi
Sacrifice health, family life; tied to
the company, not clan
Regain energy drink: “can you fight
for 24 hours?”
Suicide not sepukku
JAPANESE SELF-DEFENSE FORCES
Est. 1954
Technically civilians…
"the Self-Defense Group Members”
an extension of the police, created
solely to ensure national security
Self-sacrificing

Freedom from anonimity and
boredom
So “masculine” even a woman can
do it!

Editor's Notes

  1. (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1987) , (Storry, 1978: 21-22). This clash of powerful warlords was known as the Heiji rebellion. Taira won and was called to be an imperial advisor. Eventually, he collected so much power that the emperor was relegated to a figurehead and the first Samurai government was installed. 1180-1185, Minamoto wins the Gempei war and establishes the Kamakura bafuku; tent government in Kamakura = first shogunate = more power than aristocracy. Their armor was leather and lacquer (to waterproof). Later in the Heian pd, scales were adopted.
  2. Rectitude means that a person’s actions are justified and pleasing to God Courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation Benevolence or Charity is voluntary giving of help to those in need who are not related to the giver Respect is a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem Honesty is synonomous with truthfulness and morality in conduct Honor is action measured against conscience, not society at large (Wordsworth) Unflinching loyalty to ones Daimyo
  3. those in uniform are classified as special civil servants. Attrition is high. Recruited from rural prefectures. The English terms of Army, Navy and Airforce are not used  4.2 percent female
  4. Rectitude: pleasing to god; who defines that? Courage: no duh! Benevolence: I think its Soldier because he’s selflessly giving. Honesty and dishonesty are found in every aspect of life. Honor in death as well as life goes back to benevolence. Loyalty is prized amongst all Japanese.
