Japanese Culture

There are a lot of wonderful cultures in Japan. The cultures have appeared and disappeared while we live casually every day. I want to introduce three cultures here from among that.
First, “karaoke” is Japanese culture. “Karaoke” makes feels of us good. Though this is what I also knew for the first time, “karaoke” seems to be a culture of Japan. It doesn’t limit to the Japanese, and music is one of the things that we can enjoy in all parts of the world. “Karaoke” is gotten at a good chance to relieve the stress. In Japan, because the stress builds up easily few at the vacation, it seems that the culture of “karaoke” established it. If the stress is removed by “karaoke”, people can spend life of the good feeling.
Second thing is “hanami”. “Hanami” promotes the interpersonal communication. It is the one to eat food and to drink while seeing cherry blossoms. We will see a lot of people of families, groups of the university students, and the company. Though we are happy only in seeing cherry blossoms, we can enjoy irreplaceable time by talking and eating with friendly people. Thus “hanami” will come in a splendid place for the person to deepen the exchange with other people.
Third thing is “keigo (the honorific)”. “Keigo” becomes the most important for building sociability. The feature of “keigo” uses the honorific expression for the other party, and the humble expression is used for oneself. If “keigo” is used in a social scene by a wrong usage, it becomes impolite to the other party. However, if we can use it well, it becomes big arms for us to associate with the person.
To defend the Japanese culture of which we can boast, we will have to pass on the culture to people. I think that everyone learns the Japanese culture, and want everyone to enhance every day.
