Japan A Wonderful Place To Visit
Most westerner get their information about Japan from the news media. Just as we would hate to have foreigners judge America by our news broadcasts, seeing Japan through the sensational video we receive is inaccurate. The pace of life in Japan is very much like it is here and getting out to visit with the people can be a special experience.
Concept of family is very strong in Japan. Even one's name, when used in an introduction comes as a family name first and then the given name. So we may refer to the famous baseball player has Ichiro Suzuki, then his native land to introduce himself as Suzuki, Ichiro. This is but one of many subtle differences between Japan and the United States.
Besides this overt politeness and the language, another significant difference is our diets. In the United States, barely a day will go by without each of us consuming bread in some fashion. To an even greater degree, every Japanese consumes rice every day. This is common among easter cultures, as in China, there words for 'How are you?' literally translates to 'Have you eaten rice today?' So it is little surprise that every home in Japan has at least one or more rice cookers.
Because cooking rice in the equivalent of the bread making machine is so much easier than cooking rice in a pot on the stove devices becoming available, even popular here in the United States. But here there is usually one size in one type if the store carries them. In Japan there is an enormous selection with one of the more popular types being the Zojirushi rice cooker.
Another interesting feature of the Japanese home is the complete absence of shoes. Because one where she's outside the home releases that they are contaminated with a wide variety of unsavory materials which could not be tracked inside the house. Most Japanese shoes, therefore, are slip on slip off types. Every home also has a wide variety of slippers for guests to wear inside the home.
The majority of homes in Japan have Tatami mat floors. These mats are made of intricately woven rice straw. Originally, the centers of the mats were also constructed from rice straw but increasingly today the centers are made of a synthetic material. These types of fluids stay cool in summer and warm in winter, but require a more gentle cleaning and western floor made of wood or that is carpeted. That is the most popular floor cleaning devices are handheld vacuums.
A trip to Japan is a joy that will be remembered for a lifetime. Their appreciation for nature is woven into their daily lives. Their appreciation for the preservation of historical structures and stories reflects the respect they have for their history and people. At the same time, they embrace change and technology, which makes it a fascinating place where history meets the future.
