Things I like, things I don't and somethings I just can't figure out. Rant and Rave Wednesday, June 12, 2002 This is my chance to rant and rave, well, actually, rave mostly. Japan may be exotic to those who have never been there but to me, a guy who lived in Tokyo for many years, it's really, really exotic. No matter how long I lived in Tokyo it just kept getting more interesting. I've posted just a few of my experiences here... posted: 02:23 AM :: read more email post a comment Japanese Pizza Popular pizza toppings in Japan include octopus suckers, seaweed, mayo, corn, potato, fish flakes that slither and seem to die slowly. Only 55 bucks! And it gets better. A large is just a bit bigger than a frisbee and a medium looks like a personal pizza, only smaller. :: more Wacky Games A visit to a Japanese "game center" (a.k.a "an arcade") reveals some truly weird and disturbing amusements. I'm still looking for the pokey man game but it doesn't seem to be available yet. The "live" trout catcher just came on the market but you'll have to wait for a photo!...

(from the series "Scribblings on the Wall of a Warehouse", c.1840's, by Kuniyoshi) Silence In Japan, silence is just as important as speaking. It is a designated moment to understand what has just been communicated. It is a moment to think and an opportunity to respond in a well thought out manner. In the West, silence is considered as an awkward moment and we try to mask this uncomfortable feeling with words. It is best not to try to break the silence as you might appear insincere. It would be better to relax and appear patient with your Japanese counterpart. You should be considering the value of what has been said. Silence or what is not said can be just as important as what is said. If one point is said, the listener is expected to understand the others points that are not said. You must read in between the lines or pick up on what has been implied. Often the subject of a sentence is not stated in so many words; it is just understood "who" or "what" is being referred to.

(c. early 1790's, by Utamaro) THE GROUP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE INDIVIDUAL The Japanese believe that cooperation and harmony among all members of a group is more important than an individual's desire to put his or her interests above all others. In North America, there is an extreme form of individualism and an emphasis on one's rights. In Japan, each individual is important, however, he or she is not an isolated being. Each individual is a member of a team, whether a family, an office, a neighbourhood, a community, or the country. The Japanese believe that whatever they do or say, they must keep in mind the interests of others. Cooperation in a group takes precedence over individual responsibility, authority, or initiative. THE APPEARANCE OF HARMONY The Japanese believe that surface harmony must be maintained. In doing business with the Japanese, the relationship is just as (or may be more) important than the business itself is. Logic and facts alone reflect a coldness and insensitivity to human nature. For the Japanese, respect, sensitivity, and harmony are sometimes more important than the truth. From a Western perspective, it is like keeping the peace with "little white lies" if necessary. An example might be telling a host how delicious a terrible meal is.

67. Is Amae The Key To Understanding Japanese Culture? ISSN 1198 3655. Is Amae the Key to Understanding japanese culture? japanese culturestresses dependence while American culture underscores independence. http://www.sociology.org/content/vol005.001/smith-nomi.html

Electronic Journal of Sociology (2000) ISSN: 1198 3655 Is Amae the Key to Understanding Japanese Culture? Herman W Smith UM-St. Louis Takako Nomi UM-St. Louis *To be read at the Asia and Asian American Studies Section of the American Sociological Association for presentation at the Annual Meeting in San Francisco, August, 1998. Abstract Introduction Doi asserts that European languages lack an equivalent word to amae. His argument is that the lack of an equivalent word implies lack of social recognition and need of feelings of dependency and the desire to be loved in the West. The closest Western equivalents might be the classical Greek concepts of eros, which assumes the child's immature need to be loved, versus agape, deriving from the mother's need to give unqualified love (Tillich, 1957). Identity-Confirmation and Affect Control When a human engages in culturally inappropriate behaviors, or with culturally inappropriate counter-identities, he or she experiences negative affect. Heise (1991) has empirically derived a measure he terms the Deflection Score, which measures the discomfort felt by a person who finds herself in an identity-disconfirming event. An event such as Mother Hugs Child is probably highly identity-confirming for both mother and child in any culture, leading to low deflections. Mother Scolds Child is likely to increase anxiety in both mother and child, but is typical enough that only mild increases in deflection should result. Mother Batters Child specifies a very high deflection score. The abnormality of such an event raises questions such as: What kind of mother would batter her child? What kind of child would cause a mother to child batter?

68. OSAKA CYBER MUSEUM Takeji Iwamiya's photos of the artifacts of traditional japanese culture. http://www.kpn.nishi.osaka.jp/iwamiya/2.html

This book is an attempt to fix in photographs the forms of some of the objects that the Japanese people of the past devised from natural materials and passed on to us. Although the basic ideas for many of these objects came from China or elsewhere, Japanese hands re-worked and altered them to suit the geographic setting, the climate, the customs, and the ways of living our islands. Many of the things of the thing shown the book originated in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when the increasing wealth of the urban merchant class was undermining the ancient social structure. They therefore reflect the tastes and talents of a vigorously active level of urban society. Obviously a finished craft product or art object differs from the natural materials of which it is made. But the craftsman's attitude toward his material exerts a great influence on the result of his work. The Japanese craftsman traditionally believes that he and his materials work in cooperation. Unlike the Western craftsman, who works on his materials, the Japanese craftsman prefers to work with his materials. He loves to take advantage of the natural qualities and to reveal them. Sensing no duality between man and nature, he allows the colors and textures of his materials to find frank expression the completed work. The outcome of this attitude has been a multitude of ordinary objects of extraordinary beauty. In earlier books of mine I have presented photographs of some these things, but looking back on those books, I am not entirely satisfied with the selections I made for them. Still, in my preface to one of them I found a statement that it in complete harmony with the opinions I hold today: "In the rapidly developing modern society of Japan, demands for rationalism and functionalism together with advances in scientific technology, are steadily altering the forms of the things we use. Some of the things our forefathers made and used in time gone by are no longer popular, and some of the have already vanished. Perhaps their loss is an inevitable consequences of the changing times, but I do not want to standby idly by while much that is valuable is being lost."

Introduction The Flora of Japan Typical Plants in Japan Flora in Everyday Life ... The Fauna of Japan Animals and Japanese Culture World Heritage Animals and Japanese Culture Animals figure importantly in the culture of Japan. Chinese classical literature is the source of many of the beliefs embraced by the Japanese about various animals. In the protohistoric and ancient periods, the Japanese elite adopted from the Chinese such traditional animal symbols as cranes (for happiness and longevity) and turtles (for a faithful return). Certain animals have special places in the folklore of Japan. The racoon dog, often seen near villages, has traditionally been thought of as a weird creature with supernatural powers. In stories of old it often bewitched people, although its tricks are more frightening than harmful. In fact, it is usually depicted in figurines as a rather comical animal with a big belly and huge testicles, carrying a sake bottle.

FUJI Live Mt. Fuji Mt. Fuji or Fujiyama . It is the highest mountain (3,776m or 12,285ft) in Japan and is world-famous for its superb conical form. This symbol of the beautiful land is located on the border of Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures. Although it has been dormant, it is classified by geologists as an active volcano. To the Japanese mind, Fujisan is much more than a single volcano. It is regarded as a sacred object, and the climbing of Mt. Fuji has long been a religious practice. It has exerted a great influence upon Japanese culture. Throughout the history of Japanese art and literature, this holy mountain has been the subject of uncountable poems and pictures. The yearning for greatness and beauty symbolized by Fujisan led the ancients to name many local mountains and towns after this beautiful mountain. Some sumo wrestlers and popular stars also have ring names or stage names associated with Fujisan . (Bates Hoffer

Language as a Window into Japanese Culture by Steve McCarty Professor, Kagawa Junior College, Japan Originally published by Bismarck State College, North Dakota, in an electronic literary magazine: Webgeist, (1), 12 January 1997. "Notes from the Pacific Rim" column, second installment. Language is much more than the semantic meanings of a lexicon. This becomes clear when studying a foreign language and culture quite contrasting to one's own. Looking at the Japanese language from the vantage point of an English-speaking Western culture, many aspects of language are set in vivid relief, which helps us better understand language itself as well as our own culture. This essay will therefore outline some basic aspects of any language, with sometimes amusing examples where Japanese differs strikingly from English. Everyday Japanese words that have no equivalent in English will be featured for what they disclose about Japanese culture. Then cross-cultural communication problems will be touched upon, with the addition of biculturalism to bilingualism suggested as a challenging solution.
