Aichi and Shizuoka, 1665 to 1952. A sake house in a village near Nagoya has brewed under one name for fourteen generations, and in 1921 the fifteenth heir is born and given his instructions before he can read. Forty miles east, a carpenter's son with a village elementary schooling builds a loom that stops itself when a thread breaks, sells the patent to an English firm, and tells his own son to spend the money on automobiles. Both houses produce an industrialist; only one of them keeps him. What this history turns on is what a Japanese family firm actually transmitted — capital, credit, a name, a method for training a boy — and what it cost the boy to refuse it. Covers Akio Morita, Kiichiro Toyoda, Sony, and Toyota.
