    In the chronology adapted from Akira Iriye, Pearl Harbor and the Coming of the Pacific War mentions many times in which the U.S. made it very uncomfortable for Japan. These uncomforts stem from Japan feeling threatened as well as the U.S. cutting them off of certain products that are necessary for Japan. In 1939 the U.S. placed an embargo (or stopped the trade) of aircraft and aircraft parts (Doc C).

In fact according to Wiki, the Japanese alone built over 3,000 transport airplanes because of U.S. parts and taking that away had a huge impact on their mobility.

If one looks at the official working hours for an office man, it is set for eight hours a day, and if one needs to work overtime, the company will pay for it. This sounds familiar with the working standards in the west, but unlike it, these hours mainly apply to women, because they leave the office at 6 pm, where the buildings close for air-conditioning and heating. The fact remains that the men stay and work a lot more, and later in the evening they finally go home, resulting that the trains can be more crowded around midnight than during the rush hour, since it is seen as dishonorable to leave the office before the boss goes home (Murphy, 2014).
