I would greatly appreciate if you could share the name of the textbook in question. I found the work it cites and am interested to know how others perceive it.

Oh nice find! I took this picture of the textbook over a decade ago when a friend showed it to me, so I really can't help you with that though.

Its possible that the Japanese text book is a translation of Purves (see below) or just an excerpt. FYI For other readers...on researchgate I found the same picture, and the paper that embedded the pic cited it as: Kaplan, R. B. (1972). Contrastive rhetoric and second language learning: Notes toward a theory of contrastive rhetoric. In A. C. Purves (Ed.), Writing across languages and cultures: Issues in contrastive rhetoric (pp. 257-304). Newbury Park, CA: Sage The paper on Researchgate was at this URL: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354859830_Involving_Self-_Peer-_and_Teacher-Assessment_in_a_Writing_Course_A_Cross_Comparison_and_Reflection_of_Students'_Perceptions https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354859830_Involving... (I found it by googling for some of the words in the pictureand adding "1970s", since I had a feeling that the terms used were rather old fashioned, even if strictly accurate in a dictionary sense (like "Oriental"). And modern academia doesnt pay as much attention to Russia as it once did, but the author called it out.) And of course, if you Google for, say, 文化的思考パターン kaplan (Cultural thought patterns kaplan) Youll get a lot of japanese language books and articles that use this picture. I didnt check to see if any were the one whose photo was posted.
