skip to main skip to sidebar Japanese Culture What is Japanese culture? By taking this course, I felt that I did not know what Japanese culture is. Before taking this course, I have thought Japanese culture is only special things such as tea ceremony, flower arrangement, temples and shrines. For example, I thought Japanese culture is just sushi. I have never thought about how to eat, how to order, eat with who and the name of other things such as agari (green tea), gari (ginger). I have thought I have to have knowledge about that special Japanese culture before study abroad. It is actually essential to know about those things before study abroad; however, by taking this course, I could understand that those are not only Japanese culture. It can be represented by not only main stuff, but also all things which related to. Please look at this picture. Last weekend, I joined a small tea ceremony. I thought not only tea but also view, chair, umbrella, old woman's the way of serving, and all represents Japanese culture. Please look at this picture. They are my friends and I took this picture at the restaurant in Hirakatashi station. A woman holds up two fingers because it is Japanese culture. The other man holds up three fingers. It was also popular pose in several years ago because of the influence of TV drama. It is an interesting picture.

84. Japanese Culture An essay or paper on Japanese Culture. This study will provide a summary of two books on Japanese culture, Ruth Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword and Robert C http://www.lotsofessays.com/viewpaper/1708379.html

var base_url = "http://www.lotsofessays.com/"; Arts Business Custom Research Economics ... Login Japanese Culture This study will provide a summary of two books on Japanese culture, Ruth Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword and Robert C. Christopher's The Japanese Mind. Benedict's work is the more anthropological work, focusing on the development of Japanese culture from the seventh century to the end of World war II. Christopher has written the more anecdotal work, focusing on Japanese culture after World War II , primarily on the decades of the 1970s and 1980s. Christopher writes to educate Americans about Japanese culture in the late 20th century and to improve relations between the two countries, presenting "a psychic and institutional guidebook to today's Japan" (Christopher 7). Aiming at the lay reader, Christopher's book is deliberately non-scholarly, but his intentions are serious. The urgency of his book is rooted in his belief that the Japanese can serve as models for and allies of the United States in the uncertain future. Their economic and cultural recovery after the devastation of World War was an indication, says Christopher, of how they will continue to prosper in the future in the face of the great changes which will inevitably confront the world in the next century. The Japanese "have an uncommon talent for survivalwhich may . . . be the most compelling . . . reason that it is in America's interest to bind them to us as closely as possible" (Christopher 328).

89. Rob's Japan Photo Gallery Digital photos and descriptions of unique Japanese cultural items and characteristics. http://www.thejapanfaq.com/pics.html

Welcome Ye Seekers of the Unusual! Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so why not show you some of Japan through some eye-opening digital photographs? Some may delight, some may amuse, and some may shock you. But I'd thought I'd share some interesting displays that are special in Japan. 1. The Public Phones One of a countries most distinctive features is in its pay phones. They're not seen in any other nation the same way, and since if you come here you'll almost certainly be using them, here they are! Note that there are 2 of themthe neon-green is the older type and the drab gray one the newer type. Both are still found all over Japan, but eventually the green ones will disappear. So how are they different? Well, the biggest differences are that the green phones are for domestic calls only (unless you sign up with a company that hooks up your calls internationally). Some of the gray phones are only for domestic calls like the green one, but others allow direct international calls also. (You'd be an idiot to use the Japanese international telecoms though, with their outrageous prices and constant telemarketing harassment use Skype, a prepaid card service, or sign up with a callback company!!) See the gold bars around the gray phone's LED display? That shows you it's able to place international calls also. Both phones let you pay by either using 10 yen, 100 yen, or a thin magnetic telephone card. Nearly any convenience store, kiosk, and many phone booths have vending machines for phone cards. There is a 500 yen type (50 ten-yen units) or a 1000 yen type with 105 ten-yen units. They are not refundable, and phones do not give change for unused portions of 100 yen coins. If you do place an international call, you can use only 100 yen coins or the cards. Since certain youths who're fed up with Japanese prices for international calls found a way to recycle spent cards, the gray phones on city streets have been changed to only accept 100 yen coins for such calls. Another difference is that the gray phones have both an analog and digital phone jack you can connect a laptop or palmtop to for sending data, a fax etc. There are also a few variations of the green phone, and older bulkier type as well as a smaller, phone-card only type.

94. 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."

96. JPRI Occasional Paper No. 6 Text of speech by Ben-Ami Shillony given at the first Jewish and Japanese-American Conference. Speech outlines the commonalities between Jews and Japanese. http://www.jpri.org/publications/occasionalpapers/op6.html

JPRI Occasional Paper No. 6 (November 1995) The Jews and the Japanese: Cultural Traits and Common Values by Ben-Ami Shillony P rofessor Ben-Ami Shillony teaches Japanese history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and is the author of The Jews and the Japanese (Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1992). On July 16, 1995, he was the keynote speaker at the first Jewish and Japanese-American Conference held in Los Angeles at the Stephen S. Wise Temple. Also speaking at the conference was Hiroki Sugihara, the son of Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese diplomat to Lithuania during World War II, who saved thousands of Jews by giving them transit visas to Japan. Dr. Shillony's remarks follow. Ladies and gentlemen, and distinguished guests. Thank you for inviting me all the way from Jerusalem, the City of God, to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, to open this first Jewish and Japanese-American conference. For many years, while working on various aspects of Japanese history, I have been interested in the relations between the Jews and the Japanese, and in the cultural comparison between these two peoples. I am therefore delighted to witness today this link being forged, in this city where more people of Jewish and Japanese descent live together than in any other place in the world. It has often been said that American society is a melting pot, where different elements are transformed into a new substance. In rebuttal to that, it has been argued that rather than a melting pot, American society is a salad bowl, in which each element preserves its original nature. My own gastronomic suggestion is that it is a sukiyaki pan, where different ingredients simmer together in the same sauce, assuming a common flavor, but retaining much of their original shape, color, and taste. The pan and the sauce are important, but it is the ingredients that make the dish so tasty. Today I would like to speak about two of these ingredients, the tofu and the matzoh-ball, to stretch somewhat the sukiyaki example, which seem to me the most delicious.

98. Edo Japan, A Virtual Tour Take a tour through Tokyo during the period of the Tokugawa shoguns, and learn about the history of Japan s greatest city. Illustrated by ukiyo-e images, the text discusses the traditions that underlie Japanese culture. http://www.us-japan.org/edomatsu/

Welcome to Edo Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. During the reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned in secluded majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto; however, the true center of power, government, the economy and social life was Edo , where the Shogun lived and ruled the country. For most people in Japan, Edo is more than just a historical city. It also has a symbolic image and meaning. It represents nearly everything that they consider a part of their "traditional" culture. For the Japanese, Edo has a romantic image that one could compare to the Italian's image of Renaissance Venice, the British image of Victorian London and the American image of the Wild West, all rolled into one. This website is designed to take you exploring in Edo . Hopefully it will offer not only some enjoyment, but also some insights into the source of "traditional Japan". Although modern Tokyo may look very "Western" on the surface, in its heart the spirit of Edo still lives on! Click on the doorway to enter Edo

HOME Pictures Contact How I See the World 11:45 AM Won't You Be My Neighbor? Posted by John in Orlando Mister Rogers' Neighborhood won four Emmy awards, including one for lifetime achievement. During the 1997 Daytime Emmys, the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Rogers. The following is an excerpt from Esquire Magazine's coverage of the gala, written by Tom Junod: And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, 'I'll watch the time." There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. comments (1) Home Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) About me Text Jinsona .Converted to Blogger by Blogger Templates
