Japan's traditions and customs
In Japan, you do not have to look
the other person in the eye. This
is seen as a manifestation of
aggression.

The Japanese traditionally


bow at the meeting, if they
greeted you - you should
answer the same number of
bows.
All Japanese tableware
and appliances are divided
into men's and women's
only ones!

During the meal, Japanese


women should keep their hands
free under the mouth-watering
food. This rule does not apply to
men.
Drinks at the table the
youngest of those present pours.
In informal meetings, friends
should fill glasses with each
other, but not themselves.

To slurp at the table is a good


tone, so the Japanese express
their satisfaction with the taste of
the dishes.
Foot hygiene is an important
component of Japanese
etiquette. When going to
someone else's house you would
take white socks. They are put
on near the threshold to hide
the dusty feet.

Unbelievable insult to the


homeowner – if a guest steps on a
carpet laying on the floor by his or
her feet.
