Five Rules for Good Writing
Boyé Lafayette De Mente is an American author, journalist, and adventurer who has written over 100 books mainly related to Mexico and East Asia, in particular Japanese culture. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, de Mente arrived in Japan in 1949 with the occupation forces, and later worked for The Japan Times in Tokyo in the late 1950s. He also acted as an extra in a number of Japanese films in the early 1950s. In 1957, he accompanied the Australian adventurer Ben Carlin on the Tokyo–Anchorage leg of his circumnavigation of the world, together with Carlin becoming the first to cross the Pacific Ocean via an amphibious vehicle. De Mente subsequently graduated from Jochi University in Tokyo, and The American Institute for Foreign Trade (now Thunderbird School of Global Management) in Glendale, Arizona. He was among the first writers to introduce the Japanese terms wa, nemawashi, kaizen, tatemae-honne, shibui, and wabi-sabi to the Western world.
