Talk:Nemawashi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nemawashi is part of WikiProject Japan, a project to improve all Japan-related articles. If you would like to help improve this and other Japan-related articles, please join the project. All interested editors are welcome.

In North America, we have the term "grass roots". As in, obtaining "grass roots" support for something. This seems to express the semantic idea of nemawashi, and, as a bonus, using the same metaphor of plant roots.

Quiet change from the bottom up within a hieararchical organization is just human psychology; not uniquely Japanese.

Then why have a separate article? I move that there should just be a footnote in "Grassroots".


Is the Joanne Dibble a real statement, or trolling? The four lines were inserted with out citation on 20:10, 29 October 2006.
