home search help worldguide ... Postcards Japan Culture Until the 19th century, the main influences on Japanese art came from China and Korea, but a distinct Japanese aesthetic was present from early on. There is a fascination with the ephemeral (such as in ikebana, the art of flower arrangement ), with the unadorned, and with forms that echo the randomness of nature. A gift for caricature is also present, from early Zen ink paintings right up to the manga (comics) of contemporary Japan. There is a wildness and passion and an interest in the grotesque or the bizarre visible in many works, from Buddhist scrolls depicting the horrors of hell to the highly stylised renderings of body parts in the wood-block prints of the Edo period. The Japanese aesthetic is writ large in its architecture, from graceful Shintà  shrines and Buddhist temples , to elaborate castles and practical gossamer-thin houses (built to keep cool in summer and to crumple lightly in earthquakes). Precise physical composition is also evident in Japanese gardens , meticulously planned no matter how haphazard they may look. The two most famous Japanese performance traditions are

The Japan Culture and Language Program The program is full for 2004. See you next year! Why come to the Japan Culture and Language Program? INTRODUCTION There are many programs available for learning Japanese and studying about Japanese culture, but the Japan Culture and Language Program at Keiwa College is unique. We offer more than just language study, but a well-rounded cultural experience in a part of Japan that most tourists never get to see. We hope that you will compare the JCLP to other programs of this type. We are confident that if you do, you will come to the JCLP in 2005. Shibata Castle turret and wall The Japan Culture and Language Program at Keiwa College offers Japanese language classes and presentations in English about Japanese life, as well as field trips with an English-speaking staff member. It is not necessary to be fluent in Japanese to get the most out of the entire program. a location in a part of Japan away from the tourist track clean air and pleasant, safe surroundings. Of the many foreigners who come to Japan to tour or study, only a very few get the chance to experience the "back country" of Japan. Rural Niigata retains the traditional charm that has been lost in the major urban areas.

16. Plurality The Plurality of japanese culture. Despite the smallness of japan s territory, the culture of the archipelago was for long highly plural in nature. http://www.isei.or.jp/books/75/Plurality.html

The Plurality of Japanese Culture Geographical Conditions Let us take a look first at those special geographical features of the Japanese archipelago that would seem to relate to the special features of Japanese culture and society. First of all, there is the great difference of latitude between north and the south. To take only the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, the islands range from N 45 degrees 33 minutes at their northern extremity to latitude N 23 degrees at their southern extremity, covering a distance of 2,000 kilometers, which increases to 4,500 kilometers if one takes in all the islands from those still farther to the north to the remotest of the Okinawan group in the southwest. Where climate is concerned, the waters of the Okhotsk Sea coast in the very north are visited every winter by drifting ice carried in from the north, while Okinawa in the far south has abundant tropical fish in its coral reefs and similarly abundant plant life, also of a tropical nature. Whereas the cherry blossom in Okinawa begins to bloom in January, in Hokkaido it is delayed until May. Again, areas on the Japan Sea side are swept in winter by moist seasonal winds from the northwest, and since they are backed by mountains, there is heavy snowfall, which even on the plains reaches a depth of one meter in many places, while in the mountainous areas it occasionally reaches two meters. As a result, getting rid of the snow and other similar measures constitute a serious problem in these areas and a major financial burden on local governing bodies. The handcraft goods produced in the home during winter have traditionally formed one of the bases of local industry. On the Pacific coast, on the other hand, snowfalls are far lighter, and the dry seasonal winds experienced in some areas such as the Kantô region, including Tokyo, make fires a major hazard, especially in the cities.

My Trip to Japan: a 3 week never-to-be-forgotten adventure... by Helen DeWitt I spent 18 days in Japan as a guest of the Japanese Government thanks to the Fullbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program . Part of the time, I was in Tokyo attending seminars about Japan's educational system and its culture. Part of the time, I was in Utsunomiya City where I visited a variety of schools and experienced Japanese hospitality first hand. While in Japan, I was able to learn a great deal about the Japanese educational system and about some of Japan's culture and traditions. I was able to experience the warmth and genuine friendliness of the people who live across the ocean from me. I want to share a few of my experiences with you.....
