What is the custom in Japan?

1, pay attention to interpersonal relationships

The Japanese attach great importance to interpersonal relationships. They not only have respectful words and self-deprecating words in language, but also pay special attention to the order of respecting the elderly and the differences at home and abroad. For example, you can't use simple sentences when talking to your superiors.

2, like raw food

As we all know, sashimi is one of the unique diets in Japan. Japanese people like to eat raw food because of their late civilization, narrow land, frequent natural disasters and lack of fuel. It is a forced behavior, but over time, it has also created the Japanese concept of diet, that is, to minimize the processing technology of food and eat food as close as possible to nature. Moreover, Japan has a beautiful environment and little pollution, so Japanese can eat raw food with confidence.

3. Unique Shinto.

There are many shrines in Japan, all built under the influence of Japanese Shintoism. Shinto was originally a traditional national religion in Japan. At first, it was mainly based on nature worship. Most Japanese shrines do not worship God, because Shintoism believes that all living things are gods. If the shrine is located on a mountain, the subject of worship is a mountain. In the Japanese concept, "good things" are usually held in shrines, such as getting married, having children and some celebrations. And "bad things" such as loss are generally carried out in temples.

Japanese taboo

1, language taboo

Japanese people have many language taboos, such as "bitterness" and "death", and even some homophonic words are taboo, such as the number "4" with the same pronunciation as death. In wedding and other festive occasions, avoid saying unlucky words such as going, returning and returning.

2. Behavior taboo

Japan is known as a disciplined society, and people's behavior is restricted by certain norms. In formal social occasions, men and women must wear suits and dresses to avoid disheveled clothes, disorientation and loud noises. When communicating, there is a rule of folding letters and putting stamps on them. Stamps sent to lovers can't be posted backwards, otherwise it means breaking up.

3. Social taboos

Japanese people have no habit of offering cigarettes to each other. You must take off your shoes when you enter the Japanese house. In Japan, it is impolite to peek when visiting the kitchen of the host family. In Japan, there is no habit of inviting colleagues home to socialize with the whole family. Japanese never bring their work home, and wives regard it as a virtue not to participate in their husbands' career.
