Kids Web Japan Web Japan Kids Web Japan Explore Japan Culture Explore Japan Culture Japan has absorbed many ideas from other countries over the course of its history, including technology, customs, and forms of cultural expression, and has developed its unique culture while integrating these imports. The Japanese lifestyle today is a rich blend of Asian-influenced traditional culture and Western-influenced modern culture. Traditional Culture Traditional performing arts that continue to thrive in Japan today include kabuki, noh, kyogen, and bunraku. Kabuki is a form of classical theater that evolved in the early seventeenth century. It is characterized by the rhythm of the lines spoken by the actors, extravagant costumes, flamboyant makeup ( kumadori ), and the use of mechanical devices to achieve special effects on stage. The makeup accentuates the personalities and moods of the characters. Most plays draw on medieval or Edo period themes, and all the actors, even those playing female roles, are men.

The gifts are called Oseibo and Ochugen respectively. On average, they are worth about 5000 yen and may be food, alcohol, household items or something similar. The gift giving seasons coincide with company employees receiving a special bonus in addition to their monthly salaries. Temiyage and Omiyage In order to thank somebody, one often presents a gift (temiyage), such as Japanese sweets or sake. Similarly, when a Japanese person returns from a trip, he or she bring home souvenirs (omiyage) to friends, co-workers and relatives. In Japan, tourist sites are generally surrounded by many omiyage shops specializing in souvenir gifts, often in the form of beautifully wrapped and packaged foods.

Twenty four year old Carolyn Ruxton of Ellon in Aberdeenshire has been awarded the 2010 business scholarship to study at the International Christian University of Tokyo this summer. However, interview panelists were so impressed with 19 year old Glaswegian first year student Lloyd Conaghan that a second award was created to enable him to study at Yamaguchi University in Yamaguchi. Carolyn Ruxton (24) is currently studying for a Master of Architecture at Scott Sutherland School of Architecture at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. Born in Dingwall, Carolyn moved to Ellon during her primary school years and later became deputy head girl at Ellon Academy. Carolyn has previously spent a year in Shenzhen in China on professional work experience in an architectural practice as part of her degree course. Glaswegian Lloyd Conaghan (19) was born in the city and is currently living at home with his parents while he completes his first year studying psychology, business and management and economic and social history. On top of his degree studies, Lloyd is teaching himself Japanese for up to four hours a day via a programme of self study.
