Japanese culture２ Relationship between Japanese culture and religion
Japan has long been a pantheistic natural worship and spiritual worship such as shamanism and animism, sun god worship, ancestral worship, religious culture based on polytheism. It also retains its ancient form in the faith of Okinawa.
Even though it is based on polytheism, if this country has unique features, it is the idea that "everything lives in utensils and words, sighing", such as needle dwelling [1], tool mounds and spirituality, breath There is also the idea that it appears in the expression, and even the enemies that have invaded are also enshrined (eg Mongolia Mounds). In Chinese culture there is also an influence from Confucianism, "Strike a whip with an enemy even a dead, Engrave a grudge on a stone" etc, but in Japan it is said that "In spite of enemies they do not hit a whip to the dead, I will make it flow. "
We have accepted Buddhism · Esoteric Buddhism originating from India far from the continent from the continent and have established our own Buddhism · Buddhism culture. Many traditions and customs have originated from Buddhism, many have influenced mutual influence with ancient Shinto and formed the foundation of Japanese faith and culture. Although Hinduism has hardly been directly transmitted to Japan, it has a great influence on Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism, so there are gods from Hinduism in Japanese Buddhism and Shinto and have cultural influences .

Overview
The word culture refers to something with a high degree of accomplishment created by humans such as arts and academics (high culture), and also refers to the custom and behavior system that human society has formed over the years. In the latter sense, the categories are very broad, ranging from customs related to daily life in general, such as clothing, food and housing, social structures such as entertainment, morality, religion, politics and economics. Japanese culture can not be simplified simply, it includes various elements, from the ancient times to the medieval times the neighboring countries of Asia, mainly China, and in the modern to the after Meiji from the West It has been affected, repeatedly absorbed and sorted out, and has undergone a unique development with various hands added.
The traditional Japanese culture has been shifting with the times, incorporating foreign cultures as the basis of Shinto, but even if it changes drastically on the surface, it can point out extremely Japanese elements and trends consistent within it There is also a surface (eg, even if the residence changes from a Japanese-style room to a Western-style, it does not change in terms of taking off the shoes inside the room).
As a concept that characteristically shows Japanese culture, the word "Waka" is often used (eg Japanese, Japanese, Waka, Japanese clothes, Japanese cuisine, Japanese style inn). "Washi" is a word that refers to Japan for a long time and is used in contrast to things from foreign countries such as Han (China) and Western (Western Europe). The word "Yamato (Yamato)" may also be used (eg Yamato, Yamato, Yamato, Yamato etc). "Yamato" originally refers to the Nara region, but it is also an old word indicating the whole of Japan at the same time. Often we refer to events that are considered immutable in this country from ancient times.

1. Does Japanese culture like you? Are you being hated? Overseas reaction summary
Japanese culture
1-1 About the life, customs and culture of Japan surprised by people abroad
■ Japan has many people masking
In Japan, there are many people masking on a daily basis, so foreigners who came to Japan traveling have a response abroad called "Surprised!"
In Europe and the United States there are very few people who mask, and when using masks in France in France it sometimes has images close to the masking surface. Masks abroad are used for medical use and cleaning.
■ Japanese people to apologize soon
People from overseas feel that Japanese people are soon to apologize. In the first place, there is a big difference between Japanese and Westerners in the sense of apology.
In Europe and the United States, it is a feeling like "Apology = accept your own non-responsibility, take responsibility" and do not say "I'm sorry" easily.
When going overseas trip, if you use too many words of apology, you may feel that you are dishonest, so be careful.
■ The train in Japan is surprisingly accurate in time
I do not usually care about them, but it seems to be surprised that a Japanese train will arrive on time as it is an overseas reaction.
In Poland, a delay of 10 minutes is a routine occurrence, and even in Germany, the UK, etc., breaks and delays occur frequently.
■ There are many vending machines in Japan
There are many types of vending machines in Japan, such as vending machines for drinks, as well as cigarettes and food, vending machines with liquid crystal. Also, it seems that the penetration rate of vending machines is the best for the land area.
■ Japan has a wonderful hospitality culture
There are many people who are happy with the services of Japanese restaurants, hotels, banks and others. It seems that when you take an order, you bother to squat down and feel comfortable with a polite response.
■ There is no culture to give chips to Japan
In Japan, there is no culture to give chips. There is also a story that there are clerks who bother deliberately thought foreigners who went to a Japanese restaurant had forgotten 100 yen placed on the table.
■ Clean and almost no garbage has fallen
When Chinese tourists came to Japan, they seem to be beautiful and surprised no matter where you look. Also, the habit of Japanese people bringing garbage back home is one of the surprising reactions from overseas, perhaps related to the character of the Japanese who feel "embarrassing to annoy people".
■ Japan is a safe country
Japan is famous for being a safe country. It is a country that is in the top ten countries in the world with a low crime rate, and there are many gentle people who deliberately delivers to the police even if they drop their wallets.
■ There are few Japanese who can speak English
Japanese are not good at speaking English. As a reason, it may be related to the personality of the Japanese who feel embarrassed because they can not speak fluently.
Also, in the Netherlands, English-language movies and dramas are being broadcast with subtitles of their mother tongue, so there are many opportunities to touch English.
■ Culture to hit a seal instead of a sign
Overseas, we often finish the document with a signature, but in Japan there is a culture using a seal. Although it seems that China, Taiwan, etc. used seal registration system in old days, it seems that only in Japan the seal impression system will continue in the world.
■ The toilet is clean and has a washlet attached
It seems that many foreigners feel that Japanese toilets are clean. Toilets with washlets are also increasing in hotels and restaurants, and they seem to be surprised there.
■ In Japanese schools, students clean up
In Japan, we have a custom of cleaning themselves from long ago. It seems to be surprised that the cleaning staff will clean up overseas.
In Japan, time to clean the classroom is secured, and it is firmly established as a country with good manners.
1-2 Overseas reactions surprised by Japanese food culture
■ When you eat, eat with tableware
It is rare to have dishes when eating globally. In other countries, there are cases of violation of manners, so let's investigate the food culture when going abroad.
■ Meals to eat completely food culture
In Japan, it is better to completely eat completely without leaving any grain of rice, but in China it is good manners to leave meals served.
It seems that some people seem to understand that it means "I was short" when I completed the meal.
■ Do not eat while making a sound
In Japan, it is manners to make a sound when eating soba, but it seems uncomfortable to make sounds from overseas people.
If there are overseas people coming to sightseeing in Japan, please tell me that it is manners.
■ There is a food culture to eat raw eggs
In Japan, there are customs to eat raw eggs, such as putting eggs and eating egg rice when eating Sukiyaki.
Because there is a risk of food poisoning abroad, there is no custom of eating raw eggs.
■ You can drink tap water as it is
There are only two in Japan that can drink tap water safely in Asia, the United Arab Emirates. Because Japan has excellent water purification technology, you can drink safely and safely.
2. Japanese Culture and Features that are Disliked by Foreigners 3 Characteristics
Japanese culture overseas reaction
I do not know what you are thinking
As Japanese people say less clearly about their opinions, overseas people seem to feel "I do not know what they are thinking".
When talking with people abroad, it is easy to convey when you make gesture gestures bigger and clear emotions and pleasures clearly.
Culture overtime of Japanese companies
In Japan there is a problem of "death from overwork", there is a culture that labor for a long time. Nowadays, revision of working hours is being done, so the way of thinking is changing little by little.
If it is overseas, if you can not finish your work in time, you are thinking that "your time management is not done for your subordinates".
Over packed culture
People overseas seem to have many people who feel packaging in Japan is excessive. It seems that if you are a convenience store, you feel that you do not have to do it, such as separating warm and cold items, putting it in a bag for bringing food after taking it out.
