Japanese gestures Gestures are so different in other cultures that they are in fact an altogether different language. It is safest not to use them until you are sufficiently familiar with that other culture. There are after all several cases where the same gesture has a radically different meaning...Here is a Japanese example: you form a circle with thumb and forefinger to express that something is O.K., but your Japanese conversation partner looks flabbergasted, because in Japan this is a gestur... #Intercultural

Inventions from the Kansai Surprisingly many things were invented in the Kansai - the area of 24 million people and the 10th GDP in the world - around Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Nara.As Osaka is the city of "eat till you drop down" (kuidaore), not surprisingly these inventions often have to do with food. Another characteristic is that they help make life easier and more pleasant.Here is a list in historical order:1905: Jintan, the famous breath refresher is first sold by Morishita Jintan in Osaka192... #Kansai

["Tatami kontra krzesła. O Japończykach i Japonii" Rafał Tomański] Zacznijmy od tego, że nigdy nie lubiłam Alfa* (a przynajmniej nie pamiętam, abym go lubiła), zawsze byłam kociarą, więc rudy futrzak z planety Melmac, który usilnie chciał kota upolować i zjeść, wydawał mi się wyjątkowo irytujący. Ale lubiłam żabki. Od dziecka wprawdzie powtarzano mi, że Aga to największa ropucha – co też brat podchwycił i w przypływie braterskiej czułości, widząc muchę, niejednokrotnie rzucał: Aga, patrz, twój ob... #OczymaObcokrajowca #Japonia #RafałTomański

Food from Okinawa I love food from Okinawa, not only because it is supposed to be very healthy (Okinawa is called the "Land of Longevity"), but in the first place because it tastes so good! Like all culture on these tropical islands, the old Ryukyu Kingdom, Okinawan cuisine contains elements of both China and Japan.My favorite Okinawan vegetable is the goya, a very bitter gourd that looks like a grotesque, extra knobbly cucumber. Goya can be eaten in salads, made into tempura, but the most common... #Regional #Food

Ukłon w Japonii Sekretarz stanu USA Hillary Clinton przybyła w niedzielę (17.04.2011) z krótką wizytą do Japonii, aby okazać solidarność z bliskim sojusznikiem borykającym się z następstwami trzęsienia ziemi z 11 marca 2011 roku. Para cesarska zaprosiła Panią Hilary Clinton na herbatę. Wizyta w pałacu, w Tokio musiała wywrzeć na gościu ogromne wrażenie, bo na powitanie Pani Clinton pocałowała cesarzową Michiko w policzek. A cesarzowi Akihito, nie siląc się na dostosowanie do miejscowej kultu... #Kultura #Nauka #Etykieta #Ukłon

Stuff I Wish I Knew About Japanese Preschools a Year Ago If you’re a parent in Japan, I’d like to tell you about a few lessons I learned the hard way related to Japanese preschools:
1. If you want to go to a private preschool, call the school the day your baby is born because there are incredibly long waiting lists. A lot of parents seem to try to plan their delivery dates so that the child is born early in the year to get ahead on the waiting list. Our son was born in September, and by the time ... #KidsAndToys #LivingInformation

Kyoto Shop Signboards Original and interesting ways to advertise
Kosetsuken Calligraphy Shop
Ian Ropke writes,
Japan’s ingenious and eye-catching signboards known as kanban are unique. The earliest examples avoided the use of words, presumably because they couldn’t have been read by an illiterate public, and often focused on the shape of the product, or the form of the container in which it was sold. Larger than life carvings of objects such as geta, candles, brushes, fans, and combs, were so... #CultureTradition #IanRopke

Kaidan XX wieku – odsłona numer trzy. Parę słów o „Ringu” Kōjiego Suzukiego Gra jest ciekawa tylko wtedy, kiedy jesteś gotów postawić w niej życie.*
Sformułowania „kaidan XX wieku”** użyłam już w odniesieniu do utworów Taichiego Yamady, ale – jak się wydaje – to wyrażenie najlepiej oddaje klimat utworu(ów) innego, znanego na całym świecie japońskiego pisarza, Kōjiego Suzukiego (ur. 1957).*** Sławę przyniósł mu opublikowany w 1991 roku The Ring, który szybko doczekał się ekranizacji nie tylko j... #LiteraturaJapońska #Krąg #KōjiSuzuki #LiteraturaJapońska #Ring #Suzuki #TheRing
