Japanese culture

Recently, Japan came to be paid attention by all over the world. As one of these reasons, Japanese culture has been received to the world. Japan has many various cultures. For example, Bowing, Green tea, Karaoke, Healthy food, and etc.
However, these come to be changed because of the influence of various foreign countries. In this essay, I would introduce some Japanese cultures, and change of Japanese culture in recent years.

I think the most necessary thing to live in Japan is Bow, which is very important thing. You will know that Japanese values cooperation. If you are facing trouble with someone, bowing is very useful to avoid such a situation. We have learned the way of Bowing since born moment. So, all of us know how to bow.However, it becomes severe when finding employment in the service industry etc. At least, the angle of the bow has been decided by the enterprise in Japan. For example, ”Irassyaimase”, which is used when you invite your customer, is decided 30°, and “Moushiwakegozaimasen”, which is used when you want to apologize, is decided 45°.Of course, you don’t have to do these things all day long. But, if you want to become accustomed to the culture of Japan, you should use these things. Then, people in Japan will be seeing you well. For the above-mentioned reasons, bowing is very important in Japanese culture.

Japanese foods are very healthy. It was not until recently that its importance was fully recognized. Now, many people know it all over the world. Why does it be so healthy? I think that the history of Japan is in the background. For a long time, Japanese ate fishes, and vegetables. Japanese has eaten a little meat for a long time. Because, Japan is an island nation, so they didn’t have enough space to grow domestic animals. So, the Japanese food became healthy for such reasons. Because of this, Japan became the best country of long life expectancy in the world.
However, the number of those who get the lifestyle diseases has increased along with the change of food to Europe and America recently. I think Japanese will become the people who don’t want to eat Japanese foods. And, long life world 1 will not become Japan some time.I think that we should eat Japanese food more to avoid such a situation. And I want to make Japanese food known to the world more.

There are various kinds of tea. For example, Green tea, Tea, Oolong tea, and so on. The tea most frequently drunk in Japan is green tea. (Chinese drink it, too) So, I often drink green tea, too. Green tea was transmitted from china as a panacea. (Panacea is a medicine which is used for all kinds of sickness) I often drink green tea when I want to settle down. Gradually, green tea is paid to attention in the world for its effect concerning health.However, when foreign people drink green tea at first, they will feel bitter.In foreign country, Japanese green tea is sold with sugar added. Usual green tea doesn't add sugar. Though I drank both, but I like usual green tea. Additionally, it is certain that not adding sugar is good for health. So if you have opportunity to drink it, you should not add sugar.

In conclusion, I introduce three typical Japanese cultures. One is the culture of bowing, which is very important thing. Another is about the health of the Japanese foods, which importance has been researched by a lot of researchers. It is gradually clarified.The last is the culture of drinking the green tea. We are often relieved by it. I think that there are still many cultures excluding these. So if you live in Japan for a long time, please learn many important cultures. This will help you to live easily.
