Boye Lafayette De Mente has been involved with Japan, China, and Korea since the late 1940s as a member of a U.S. intelligence agency, student, trade journalist, editor, and author working out of Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore. He is a graduate of Jochi University in Tokyo and The American Institute for Foreign Trade (now Thunderbird: The School of Global Management). His 70-plus books include Japan's Cultural Code Words, Business Guide to Japan, and Japan Unmasked.
"Umai! (Nicely done!) De Mente makes Japanese accessible to English
speakers." —Bradley K. Martin, former Tokyo Bureau Chief,
Newsweek
"The book subtitle reflects its goal precisely: to express 1,000
different ideas with just 100 keys words and phrases. If you have
absolutely no knowledge of Japanese, this book will come to your
rescue." —Japan Travel blog
