I think Japanese culture becomes no sense of Japanese character.Japanese　is known that they have some unique culture. Sushi is one of famous Japanese culture in the world. It is made of raw fish and rice. We always eat it to dip in soy sauce with　wasabi. The rice contains vinegar and this rice makes sushi delicious. I think sushi is one of the best foods around the world. Samurai is famous in the world too. Perhaps the most famous social standing made extinct by times is samurai. In the edo period, they exist everywhere to protect people that is high rank in Japan. They wear hakama and put Japanese sword, so samurai become famous for foreigner. Anime is also one of famous Japanese culture in the world, for example, pokemon, one piece, and Mario. Nowadays, most anime broadcast in Japan can be watched in the Internet. It is not good action, but people who have the Internet can watch Japanese culture. I feel these cultures are important for me to live and understand in Japan.Japanese food is individual meal all around the world. When we eat some foods, we always use chopsticks. It looks difficult for foreigners to use chopsticks. I think that using it makes us dexterous. The staple food of the Japanese is rice. The rice with miscellaneous cereals is very healthy, so Japanese can live longer. Healthy food in not only miscellaneous cereals rice, but also almost all Japanese foods are. A unique drink in Japan is sake. It is one of alcoholic drinks and it is the best of all medicines. For these things, Japan has unique individuals.Japan has a lot of annual functions. These are divided for four seasons. For example, February 3rd is a day that is before spring and is called Setubun. We throw some beans to get rid of bad luck in this day. In summer, there is the star festival. It takes place in July 7th. This day becomes fairy tale; Vega and Altair meet each other in this day. New Year’s Eve is also annual functions. In this day, we reflect on this year and are eager to do next year. We usually eat buckwheat noodle when we hear the tolling of temple bells 108times. This is winters’ annual function. Because of four seasons, Japan could have had good culture. For these things, Japanese culture becomes famous and unique. Japanese culture has a lot of good things, so Japanese should keep this valuable Japanese culture.
