In data de 26 noiembrie, Cercul „Prietenii Japoniei” s-a intalnit, aducand in prim plan o tema care lasa loc de numeroase dezbateri si discutii. Tema abordata a fost munca in Japonia, si au fost atinse aspecte precum modul in care se munceste in Japonia, care este filozofia de munca, ce fel de munca presteaza japonezii, care este pretul muncii excesive, ce fel de munci presteaza femeile din Japonia si altele.
Intalnirea a inceput, dupa prezentarea participantilor, prin cateva intrebari despre munca in Japonia. Participantii s-au dovedit destul de documentati in acest domeniu, chiar daca majoritatea au fost studenti, fara un loc de munca. La intrebarea „Cine ar vrea sa munceasca in Japonia?” cateva maini au fost ridicate.
In continuare, dl Radu Nedisan a inceput o prezentare despre munca in Japonia, facand referire la cateva aspecte istorice, amintind situatia in care era Japonia in urma celui de-al doilea Razboi Mondial si modul in care economia Japoniei a explodat pur si simplu in perioada 1965-1980. S-a discutat despre ceea ce a facut posibila o astfel de explozie, cu referire la devotamentul japonezilor, spiritul de samurai, societatea bine structurata, nationalismul, dar si efortul depus de guvernul japonez pentru promovarea unei imagini bune a Japoniei.
A fost prezentata apoi categoria cea mai buna reprezentanta pentru ordinul muncitoresc din Japonia, si anume salaryman. Au fost discutate cateva aspecte din viata acestora, cum ar fi monotonia, lipsa satisfactiei, oboseala, karoushi, moartea la locul de munca datorata oboselii si au fost proiectate un scurt film si cateva poze reprezentative. Au fost prezentate si cateva alternative la viata de salaryman pe care unii le aleg, cum ar fi viata de fermier, pescar, sau alte munci cu totul neconventionale, cum ar fi cea de street performer.
In continuare dra Minodora Buta a continuat prezentarea prin referirea la alte cateva aspecte ale muncii in Japonia, cum ar fi suma de bani pe care o castiga un japonez, modul in care salariul creste in functie de vechime, grija superiorilor pentru viata personala a inferiorilor, cu scopul ca munca sa mearga bine, legaturile stranse dintre colegii de munca.
A fost prezentata si munca prestata de catre femei, putine femei fiind femei de cariera. Munca femeilor este descrisa de un M, reprezentand munca prestata inainte de casatorie, dupa care acestea devin casnice, iar apoi dupa ce copiii cresc, doresc sa munceasca din nou. Pe fondul acestor subteme au izbucnit si unele dezbateri in randul participantilor.
In incheiere, dl Katsutaro Kawai a adus ultimele concluzii si completari discutiilor vorbind despre ambitia japonezilor de a atinge excelenta si responsabilitatea pe care si-au asumat-o generatiile de dupa razboi in munca pe care au depus-o cu dorinta de a asigura o Japonie prospera, infloritoare pentru copiii lor, pentru generatiile viitoare.
Dupa acestea dl Kawai a proiectat doua filmulete foarte sugestive, un filmulet de animatie realizat de catre un prieten de-al dlui Kawai, dl Tsujita din Tokyo, despre viata de salaryman si o serie de reclame despre extraterestrul Jones care incearca diferite munci in Japonia. Dupa alte observatii legate de munca in Japonia dl Kawai i-a incurajat pe participanti sa isi urmeze visul legat de munca si sa nu aleaga sa munceasca intr-o tara straina doar pentru faptul ca salariul sau beneficiile financiare sunt mai mari.
A fost o intalnire in care am invatat multe lucruri, in final ramanand cu multe teme de discutat in drum spre casa.

On 26 november, the Japan’s Friends Club met, bringing into discussion a topic which can be debated and talked about for a long time. The approached topic was work in Japan, and numerous aspects of this topic have been touched, such as the way in which people work in Japan, the working philosophy, what kind of jobs the Japanese have, what is the price of excessive work, what kind of jobs Japanese women have, etc.
The meeting started, after the introduction of the participants, with a few questions about work in Japan. The participants proved quite documented in this domain, even though the majority were students, without a workplace. When the question “who would like to work in Japan?” was asked, a few hands were raised.
Next, Mr. Radu Nedisan started a presentation about work in Japan, referring to a few historical aspects, like the condition in which Japan was after the Second World War and the way in which the economy of Japan swelled in the 1965 – 1980 period. The reasons for this economic prosperity have been discussed, with reference to Japanese people’s devotement, the samurai spirit, a well structured society, nationalism and national pride, the effort that the Japanese Government is making to promote a good image of Japan overseas.
Following, the best representative of the working class in Japan was presented, namely the salaryman. A few characteristics of his life were presented like monotony, lack of satisfaction, working fatigue and karoushi, death caused by excessive work. A movie and a few representative photos were projected. The alternatives that some Japanese choose over the salaryman life were also presented, like fisherman, farmer and some other more unconventional jobs like being a street performer.
Afterwards, Ms. Minodora Buta continued the presentation making reference to other aspects of work in Japan, like the wage, the way in which the sallary grows according to the years worked in the company, the superiors’ care about their inferiors’ personal life in order to be able to get most out of their workers, the close ties between coworkers. Women’s work has also been described, only a few women being career women. Women’s work career is described by an M, which represents their work before marriage, many becoming housewives after marriage and get the desire to work again after their children grow up. A few debates among the participants derived from these topics.
In conclusion, Mr. Katsutaro Kawai added his final remarks, talking about the Japanese people’s ambition to reach excellence and the responsibility that the post-war generations assumed in their work, which they did having in mind a prosper Japan, flourishing for their children and for the future generations. Afterwards, Mr. Kawai showed us two suggestive videos for the topic, one of which was an animation about the life of a salaryman, realized by mister Tsujita, a friend of Mr. Kawai, and the other one was a series of advertisments featuring the alien Jones working in several different workplaces in Japan. After adding a few other observations, he concluded, encouraging the participants to follow their dream to work in Japan and not to choose to work in a different country for the sole purpose of material benefits because there are other things that are more valuable than money.
The meeting was very educational and it left us with a few topics to discuss on our ways home.
