Section I: Introduction to the Way of WA　

This book was born out of my strong desire to assist people who live
in the highly competitive world of today. I want to assist them in
their attempt to liberate themselves from their existing cultures
that demand constant struggle for power. It is my ardent wish that
they will find in this book the best and the only possible way of
attaining that freedom.

This book is for the promotion of a method of personal and
organizational management that has existed in Japan for sev- eral
centuries. I have no intention of advocating a reform movement in
the name of world peace. I am merely introducing to the reader some
basic principles of management through which any man or woman may be
able to acquire enough wisdom and inner strength for starting his or
her own business and prosper in today's global marketplace.

It is interesting to note that historically it has almost always
been a single leader who practiced this way of manage- ment. He
possessed enough inner strength to establish a new business from
scratch, restore financial stability to an or- ganization, or
succeed in leading a community out of harsh pre- dicaments .

Through this book I will introduce to you and to the world the
concept and application of the Way of WA that is uniquely Japanese.
My objective does not lie in advocating a nonviolent peace movement.
Unlike those who think that the state of peace is directly related
to t'.ie number of people who call themselves peace-lovers, those
who do not meet their challenges fairly and squarely, those who
flatly refuse violence or those who be- lieve that a unilateral
disarmament will eventually eliminate their opponent's armaments, I
am introducing to the reader the energy and true strength that can
be attained through the Way of WA.

It is not against the principles of the Way of WA to punish a
violator of humanity. A best method for the improvement of the
community has to be selected and acted upon, regardless of the
social code of that particular period of time in history. Here a
question may be raised as to the value judgement this "best" measure
is based upon. My answer is that whatever the "best" measure of that
particular moment may be, it has to be a universally best measure
that will benefit the whole mankind. w As you read on you will come
to know that the Way of WA is naturally incongruous with military
aggression. The Way of WA
