Popular films, television programs, comics, and music all developed from older artistic and literary traditions, and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to traditional art forms. Contemporary forms of popular culture, like the traditional forms, provide not only entertainment but also an escape for the contemporary Japanese from the problems of an industrial world.

Cultural Calendar 1 Over the years, fewer and fewer Japanese people have been observing customs and traditions that have been passed down from previous generations. Even though change may be an inevitable part of any culture, it always leaves nostalgic feelings in one's heart to see them disappear. I believe that one of the major attractions to Japan for foreign visitors is the contrast between old and new. However, the new seems to be overwhelming the old these days. Every month here in this page, we are going to introduce, through photos, cultural events still observed by Japanese people today. Taue An event in June that's worth mentioning here is rice planting. Around this time throughout Japan, you see farmers riding (or pushing ) machines that are mounted with plants about 10 cm tall (about 4 inches) in fields filled with water. Yes, they are planting rice seedlings! Even though there has been a decrease in the amount of rice Japanese people consume, rice still is the staple food and loved by the majority of people here. Rice is grown in plastic trays until it gets about 10 cm tall and at the time of planting, it is taken out of those trays and set on the machine to be planted. Although these machines do most of the work, there are spots in a paddy where planting must be done manually. I have planted rice a few times myself when I was in college and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I should organize a Rice Planting Field Trip next year.

Outlet Locator Forums Pot-TV Media Newsfeeds Bud Shots Bud Babes CC Store Advertising info Online Advertisers CC Classifieds BC Marijuana Party US Marijuana Party NORML Canada backissues Hempen culture in Japan by Dave Olson (01 Jul, 1998) Marijuana and hemp are emerging from the shadows to greet the future in the Land of the Rising Sun. Cannabis has been an integral part of Japanese culture since the beginnings of its history. Cannabis is a sacred herb to the religion of Shinto, and was also used and praised by ancient Zen poets and Buddhist monks. Cannabis culture was suppressed and banned by US occupying forces after World War II, and today most Japanese don't realize that "marijuana" is the same plant as cannabis, which was once as much a part of Japanese culture as rice. Yet now Japanese cannabis culture is making a comeback. Many Japanese youths have learned to enjoy marijuana while travelling overseas, while farmers and universities are researching and experimenting with industrial hemp. Activists and scholars are educating the Japanese people about cannabis' history and beneficial uses, and more Japanese are seeing the prohibition of cannabis as part of unwelcome American influence. With the burgeoning growth of cannabis culture in Japan and around the world, perhaps Japan will lead Asia in shaking off prohibitionist dogma, and once again honouring cannabis as a sacred and beneficial plant.

Sitemap BUYUSA.GOV U.S. Commercial Service Japan Local time: 09:43 AM Japanese Customs, Etiquette, and Culture SOME USEFUL WEB SITES Selected by: Alain Letort Commercial Officer Tokyo, Japan These web sites are recommended reading for business visitors to Japan, especially first-time business visitors. They present an overview of Japanese culture, customs, and etiquette. Japanese culture is very different from the American. All aspects of Japanese life, especially business relations, are governed by strict rules of etiquette. A foreign business person who is either ignorant of, or insensitive to, Japanese customs and etiquette needlessly jeopardizes his company's prospects in this country. An elementary knowledge of the language is also useful, although not required. We hope that CS clients will find the contents of these web sites useful as they prepare for a business trip to Japan or get ready to deal with visiting Japanese business people in the United States. japan-guide.com a very good basic guide to Japanese culture Japanese culture http://www.japanguide.com
