Is Amae The Key To Understanding Japanese Culture?
Japanese culture stresses dependence while American culture underscores independence. First, we start out by comparing the affective meanings of dependence
http://www.sociology.org/content/vol005.001/smith-nomi.html

Extractions: UM-St. Louis *To be read at the Asia and Asian American Studies Section of the American Sociological Association for presentation at the Annual Meeting in San Francisco, August, 1998. Doi asserts that European languages lack an equivalent word to amae. His argument is that the lack of an equivalent word implies lack of social recognition and need of feelings of dependency and the desire to be loved in the West. The closest Western equivalents might be the classical Greek concepts of eros, which assumes the child's immature need to be loved, versus agape, deriving from the mother's need to give unqualified love (Tillich, 1957). When a human engages in culturally inappropriate behaviors, or with culturally inappropriate counter-identities, he or she experiences negative affect. Heise (1991) has empirically derived a measure he terms the Deflection Score, which measures the discomfort felt by a person who finds herself in an identity-disconfirming event. An event such as Mother Hugs Child is probably highly identity-confirming for both mother and child in any culture, leading to low deflections. Mother Scolds Child is likely to increase anxiety in both mother and child, but is typical enough that only mild increases in deflection should result. Mother Batters Child specifies a very high deflection score. The abnormality of such an event raises questions such as: What kind of mother would batter her child? What kind of child would cause a mother to child batter?

Japanese Rice Culture
Essay on ancient rituals and peasant society practices that became part of Japanese traditional culture and still influence present day rural society.
http://home.worldcom.ch/~negenter/473bTx_E01.html

Extractions: Rice culture? Do we mean culture, or merely cultivation? Rice, once a luxury for the few, is today Japan's staple food, the daily source of energy for over a hundred million people. The rice economy has become important. But because rice in Japan was long the mark of fine living, it has developed an aesthetic aura. Rice as an expression of refined eating habits? The definition would be too narrow. Those who venerate the arts of the steaming dish often forget that rice is also a plant. It has to be tended and cared for, which to the farmer means toil and travail. Yet here again there is an element of culture, embodied this time in coarse cloths, simple tools, unadorned vessels, such as are exhibited in the Museum of Japanese Folk Art (Nihon Mingeikan) in Tokyo. Many people find these things beautiful because they stand for the plain, genuine values of a peasant culture. The rice plant also produces green foliage which, when dry, becomes straw, Japanese wara.

http://www.kangetsu.com/sub10.htm

Extractions: BUSHIDO ( SAMURAI SPIRIT = Chivalry ) is a flower no less indigenous to soil of Japan than its emblem, the cherry blossom. The conditions of society which brought it forth and nourished it have long disappeared; but as those far-off stars which once were and are not, still continue to shed their rays upon us, so the light of BUSHIDO which was a child of feudalism,still illuminates our moral path, surviving its mother institution. Kabuki originated in the early Edo period, when a woman called Okuni of Izumo performed a Buddhist dance in an unusual costume in Kyoto. the dance was later deemed morally unacceptable,and woman were prohibited from performing it. Instead, only adult men were allowed to perform.This custom has been maintained in present-day kabuki. A genre painting popular among the common people during the Edo period (1600-1868). Ukiyu means "pleasure-seeking," or "sensual" in Japanese, and this world was actually the subject of paintings called Ukiyo-e.Most Ukiyo-e were prints that could be mass-produced. Drawings were rare.

Extractions: TRUE AIM: An archer dressed in traditional samurai garb displays Yabusame (archery while on horseback) during an annual demonstration of 13th century Japanese martial arts in Tokyo. (Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFP/Getty Images) High-resolution image (1382 x 2048 px, 1 dpi) Japanese martial arts, particularly those descended from classical-era ones, are a distinctive combination of art and science. Borne of hundreds of years of internecine warfare, there were (at conservative estimates) over 1000 different systems of combative technique, each with their own peculiarities. What survives of these are fascinating artifacts of the time and place of their development that offer modern students a unique opportunity to practice an ancient form. According to a myth, the islands of Japan were formed by the two deities Izanagi and Izanami. They dipped their spear into the ocean, churned it, and created the first island, Onogoro, from the drops of salty water which fell from the spear. In those early myths, gods are described as partaking in ritual combat (wrestling, probably a very ancient forerunner to modern Sumo) and using weapons as tools for creation as well as destruction.

Brain death and Japanese society The word "bioethics" appeared in the United States in the early 1970s, and spread to other advanced countries in the 1980s. Japan was no exception. Through powerful patients' rights movements and fierce debates on brain death in the 1980s, Japanese society has realized the importance of bioethical ideas and bioethical ways of thinking. Today, "informed consent" is a key concept among human rights activists in the field of medical care. At the same time, however, Japanese society seems to have showed reluctance to, for example, organ transplants from brain-dead donors.

Borg N Those laborers were the start of the Japanese community in the Pajaro Valley, which would go on to influence every aspect of life here, even as its people fought discrimination and adversity to settle in this land. As these monumental projects were finished, the Chinese turned to agricultural work - again providing a vast labor force needed to support expanding California markets. Upon the 50th anniversary of the Watsonville Japanese American Citizens League in 1984, historian Sandy Lydon wrote: "After Japan relaxed laws prohibiting emigration in 1885, Japanese farm laborers began to replace the aging Chinese in the fields of Hawaii, California, Oregon and Washington. The number of Japanese living in the Pajaro Valley grew from a handful in 1890 to over four hundred in 1900, and the young, energetic men soon filled the slots being vacated by Chinese in agriculture as well as finding employment as domestics, laundrymen, woodchoppers and railroad workers in the Monterey Bay region."
