He wrote numerous books and articles both in Japanese and in English.
Doi was best known for his influential explanation of contemporary Japanese
In 1986, Doi published a further book, The Anatomy of Self, that expanded on his previous analysis of the concept of amae by a deeper examination of the distinctions between honne and tatemae (inner feelings and public display); uchi (home) and soto (outside); and omote (front) and ura (rear) and suggests that these constructs are important for understanding the Japanese psyche as well as Japanese society.[4]
Doi died aged 89 in 2009.
