The film provides a fascinating insight into Japanese working culture, where employees embrace the ethos of “Live to Work” or “Persevere through hardship”. Without an understanding of Japanese history and culture, one may reject these values outright. However, comprehension of Bushido, which represents the way of the warrior, can be the swiftest route to understanding the Japanese work ethos. If presented with an opportunity to work in Japan, an individual personality must be relinquished in favor of becoming an integral part of the organization.
