Paul, what you describe certainly was true when I was in Yokosuka 44 years ago. At that time, of the 10,000 Japanese employees at the U.S. Naval base only one had an automobile. When the salesman came in to show off the Nisan Bluebird to the Naval personnel it looked liked it was assembled by a committee.(never bought one because my money went into furniture). They have "come a long way baby." I married Sachiko, a girl from Kyushu Island, and our oldest daughter is now 41. In fact my wife is visiting her in Toluca Lake CA as I type. I hope you saw the excellent PBS documentary on the Nisei troops.
On to investment. I do not follow Japanese companies but have MLN on my watch list. If it reaches 8.2 I will buy. This is a Merrill Lynch senior security which is guaranteed to give you 10 dollars in Sept 2005. If the Nikkei is above 14,153 by that time you will get an amount equal to 10*((Ending value-14,153)/14153) May be a little early to consider now but worth while watching.
Best regards.
