"They"
I started reading a Road to Sata by Alan Booth. It was written 30 years ago about his journey on foot from the northenmost part of Hokkaido to Cape Sata on the southern tip of Japan. I liked the authors note...
I have tried to avoid generalizations, particularly "the Japanese." "The Japanese" are 120,000,000 people ranging in age from 0 to 119, in geographical locations across 21 degrees of latitude and 21 degrees of longitude, and in proffession from emperor to urban guerilla. This is book is about my encounters with some twelve hundred businessmen, farmers, grandmothers, fisherman, housewives, shopkeepers, schoolchildren, soldiers, policeman, monks, priests, tourists, journalists, professors, laborers, maids, waiters, carpenters, teachers, innkeepers, potters, dancers, cyclists, students, truck drivers, Koreans, Americans, bar hostesses, professional wrestlers, government officials, hermits, drunks and tramps.
