of
cleanliness
has grown
into a
passion.
And he
continues,
saying
that thus
the
Japanese
‘live
clean,
undefiled
lives
which seem
as serene
and
beautiful
as a
cherry
tree in
full
bloom.’
This
‘morning
tub,’ in
other
words,
washes off
dirt other
people
have
thrown at
you and
you cannot
be
virtuous
as long as
any of it
sticks to
you. The
Japanese
have no
ethic
which
teaches
that a man
cannot be
insulted
