What is the traditional culture of Japan?

Japanese usually regard bowing as a meeting etiquette, paying special attention to the degree, length and frequency of bowing. When you bow, don't hold anything in your hand and don't wear a hat. Japan sometimes bows when shaking hands. Japanese women in general, especially rural women in Japan, just bow their heads.

Japanese people attach great importance to their clothes, whether on formal or informal occasions. On formal occasions, men and most young women wear suits. Men usually wear ties when they wear suits. Kimono is a traditional Japanese costume, which is characterized by sewing a piece of cloth.

When Japanese meet others for the first time, they usually exchange business cards, otherwise they will be interpreted as unwilling to associate.

In communication situations, the Japanese creed is "Don't disturb others". Therefore, it is forbidden to laugh loudly in public, but always smile in front of outsiders. The Japanese think it's polite.

Most Japanese believe in Shinto and Buddhism. Japanese people like pine, bamboo, plum, duck, turtle and so on. Japanese people don't like purple. They think purple is the color of sadness, and they are most afraid of green. They think green is an ominous color, and they are afraid to take photos with three people. They think it is an unfortunate omen that the middle person is sandwiched between the left and right people.
