Nihonjinron

Nihonjinron (日本人論, "discourse on, theories about, the Japanese") refers to a vast and highly popular genre of writing purporting to examine the characteristics--national, social, cultural, behavioural and spiritual--which are presumed to be unique to the Japanese people. The essential premise of nihonjinron is that the Japanese people and their culture are unlike any other in the world -- unlike especially either Westerners (frequently typified by Americans) or Asians such as the Chinese and (and to a lesser degree) the Koreans.
