Facing an unknown nation called Japan where Western behavioral norms and ways of thinking do not apply at all, America found itself compelled to understand Japanese behavior, character, and their unique modes of thought. The Japanese people, who love beauty and devote themselves to the art of chrysanthemum cultivation while simultaneously revering the sword and bestowing the highest honors upon samurai—a contradiction from the perspective of Western cultural traditions—are the subject of Ruth Benedict's research conducted during wartime when fieldwork in Japan was impossible.
