According to preliminary research interviews, Japanese female workers in foreign-owned, white-collar
offices located in Tokyo, often express pleasure in that they do not have to experience the apparently higher
level of sexual harrassment that their Japanese peers who work in Japanese-owned firms experience.
Do differences exist in approaches to, and in definitions of sexual harrassment? How do the experiences
read differently for Japanese business women working in Tokyo's various corporations?
Research participants* who work in Tokyo office settings reveal that Japanese women still experience
secret forms of sexual harrassment. Surprisingly, such harrassment in Tokyo office settings also affects
foreign women as well. AA&JS reports on how sexual harrassment within international business offices can be based
upon issues of nationality and concepts of race -- many of which are directly linked with existing mass media
stereotypes.

"Japan will need to import five million foreign workers over the next decade (not counting dependants)
just to maintain the current anemic rate of improvement of living standards " (Robert Feldman, 2004:
38).
The ECONOMIST stresses the importance of reconstructing the Japanese workforce
structure. However, foreigners working in Japan still find it difficult. I'll discuss what makes
it difficult for foreigners to live and work in Japan, and suggest an effective plan to adopt current
global changes (Kono 2004:1).
