In Poland, we have always observed a fascination with Japan. It was the first Asian country to develop modern, technologically advanced management principles, based on European examples, observing what is useful for its development. However, she remained true to her own tradition. At the same time, it became a model for its neighbors, who for decades remained under the colonial rule of European powers.

This fascination with Japan is also the domain of Zdzisław Kowalczyk's book recommended for printing. It is written with passion, good fluent language. It reads well. It is supplemented by numerous illustrations. It may be intended for future travelers, as Zdzisław Kowalczyk wants, but also for students, enthusiasts of Japanese tradition and everyone interested in the world.
