Japanese customs Comic Strip
Storyboard Text
- Did you know that receiving a gift with both hands is a sign of respect in Japan
- I heard about that as well. Also, it is seen as rude to present only one person a gift in front of a group of people
- The business attire customs for Japan isn't really set in stone but it's usually just dress formally
- And the attire for women is a formal too. They wear a suit but instead of trousers they normally wear skirts
- Speaking of business. Their punctuality customs are be early if possible instead of just on time or late
- Also when referring to someone in Japan. You use their last name instead of their first. And add an honorific such as -san or -kun based on the gender and their relationship with you
- In Japan, they also say "Thanks for the meal" right before eating as a sign of respect
- I don't know why, but they also take their shoes off before entering their own or someone else's house. and shrines too
- Back to respect, people in Japan bow as a greeting, apology, or gratitude.
- They also use Dogeza. which is kneeling on the ground and placing their head on the floor. They use this as a sign to a person of higher status, a deep apology, or to ask a favor of somoene
- So what I got from this is basically that Japanese folk take respect and politeness very seriously.
- Yeah, they are all about respect and politeness.
