Try again....

In 17th century Japan, a Samurai lived by a strict code of honor and loyalty to his lord. Honor (and acquiring wealth) was what he lived and died for. In modern day Japan, while many things have changed, honor and loyalty remain fixed within the Japanese character. Key to honor is the concept of “saving face”—the Japanese will go to great lengths to avoid embarrassment. The loss of face is not easily forgotten nor is it easily forgiven.
They may not use swords anymore other than for ceremony, but when it comes to honor, they firmly believe in it, and it matters even in this modern age.

Ask anyone actively involved in day to day transactions with a Japanese company just how much it matters, maybe you'll learn something.
