What are the motifs in You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming?

Honor and respect are discussed at length in the work. It is important to note that honor and respect are the foundation of Japanese culture. Tiger tells Bond that honor is everything in Japan and without it, a person feels they have nothing. Respect is touched on as very important, as well. Tiger tells Bond that people in Japan are taught to respect their elders, ancestors and family, no matter what. Dikko describes to Bond an ON or respect and feeling of obligation that is shown toward those who have earned it. He tells Bond that the ON means doing the right thing towards another. He says in a sense that in their tradition, when someone does something good for them, they feel they must pay them back tenfold.
