Provenance

Where it came from

Published by Kodansha in the late 1980s, this work emerged during a period of intense global fascination with Japan's 'bubble economy' and its burgeoning consumer culture. George Fields, a long-time market researcher based in Tokyo, sought to decode the rapid social shifts occurring as traditional Japanese values collided with Western luxury influence. The book serves as a sociological study of the era, capturing how high-end brands like Gucci became symbols of status and belonging for a younger generation of Japanese professionals.

The design and content were framed for an international business audience looking to understand the mechanics of the Japanese market. Fields utilized his background in marketing to provide a grounded, analytical look at consumer behavior, moving beyond surface-level observations of wealth. The book was well-received by those interested in the cross-cultural dynamics of trade and marketing during the peak of the Japanese economic miracle, providing a window into a specific, transformative moment in global retail history.
