In 2021, the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) listed Japan at number 9 among 172 independent states and territories in the annually published Global Peace Index (GPI). Considering the low rate of homicide, armed robbery, or assault, this ranking might be reasonable. But what if we examine suicide rates? Taking into account there were over 21,000 reported deaths it is clear that, in terms of mental health, Japan should not be in the top 10. What does this mean for Blacks who live in Japan?

Each year, with more and more immigrants from the African diaspora moving to the island-nation, how will they avoid becoming victims of not only suicide but also the other psychological maladies which plague the society such as alienation and bullying (ijime),people working themselves to death (karoshi),or even the tendency to become an anti-social hermit (hikikomori)? Moreover, what about the accusations of Japanese harboring prejudicial views concerning foreigners? This book answers these questions and much more. In fact, it is the blueprint—the actual script—for people in Japan who wish to live a balanced, healthy life.
