What is Japanese Culture?
Customs, beliefs, learning, food, and the arts have been handed down in Japan since ancient times.

Japan is an island nation with the unique characteristics of being able to absorb the culture of other countries, transform it flexibly, and build its own unique culture.
And the Heian and Edo periods, when exchange with foreign countries was drastically reduced.
During that time, Japan’s unique culture matured.
Hiragana and katakana, which are unique to the Japanese language, were established in the Heian period.
During the period of national isolation, reading, writing, and abacus became popular due to the spread of terakoya and clan schools.
Even before modernization, the country had a large number of citizens who could use letters regardless of gender or status.
Against this backdrop, the common people loved plays, ukiyoe soshi and kabuki, and popular culture flourished and developed in Japan.
And in every age, a variety of Japanese culture has emerged from the ruling class.
Japanese culture with the “道” (way), such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, calligraphy, martial arts, etc.
These are not only to enhance their skills, but also to teach them the etiquette and philosophy that are important to them.

Here, too, lies the charm of Japan as seen from a foreign perspective.
