The "candid" feeling unique to brothers is enjoyable, with Takeshi teasing but also sharply cutting in, and Masaru Kitano logically explaining, which was a good contrast. A dialogue on "environment" between "expert" brother Masaru and "educated citizen" brother Takeshi. The difference in their positions broadens the scope of the discussion, making it an interesting read. The common values of the two, who grew up in the working-class district of Tokyo and lived in poverty, are their mother's teachings. That is "Mottainai ne" (What a waste) and "Kono bachiatarime!" (You ungrateful person!), the title of this book. It's not just about material things, but also important teachings.
