Japanese philosophy

Hi,

Recently I've read something about an old Japanese philosophy about the 3 masks that humans wear. I forgot the name, and I can't find any resource or book about this.

Can anyone please tell me what book I can read about this?

Thanks

tl;dr I'm looking for a book about an old Japanese philosophy about the 3 masks humans wear.

Probably from *Shogun*, a fictional novel that is a pretty good example of Orientalism, that quote in particular being pretty dumb. An actual cultural concept is honne and tatemae, which you can find plenty about.
