Narendra Modi strikes the right notes during visit to Japan

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's five day visit to Japan has so far been marked by soft sell. On his first major foreign visit since his landslide election victory in May, Modi played the flute, visited a Buddhist temple and sat in the traditional 'seiza' style as he attempted to woo the Japanese.
