Costume and Etiquette in Japan Zainab AlBelooki

Harmony & saving face Japanese consider harmony as key value. Saving face is crucial to them, they will try anything to save the recipient face. Thanking others is very important to them. They present facts that might be disagreeable in a gentle and indirect fashion.

Collective society Japanese culture is collective Give high credit to the group Do not appreciate individualism. They put great emphasis on working together for the universe.

High context culture Because harmony is important, they rely on face expression more than words. They trust non-spoken messages more. Body language and facial expression transfer a huge part of their feelings and messages.

High power distance seniors are addressed ('senpai') and juniors are addressed by ('kohai'). It is considered disrespectful to stare into a senior's eyes because of age or status. The oldest person in a group is always revered and honored.

Monochromic view of time Time is very important to the Japanese. Although time is important, they like to get to know the person first. Perform tasks in efficient time manner.

Meeting etiquette in Japan Greetings in Japan are very formal and ritualized. It is important to show different amount of respect to others based upon their status. always wait to be introduced. It is impolite to introduce yourself.

Meeting etiquette in Japan The traditional form of greeting is the bow. The deeper you bow, the more respect you show.

Correct Way of Bowing

Gift Giving Etiquette The way the gift is wrapped is very important. The gift must not be expensive. Do not give lilies, camellias, lotus blossoms or white flowers as they are associated with funerals. Give items in odd numbers, but not 9. Gifts are not opened when received.

Dining Etiquette If you are invited to a house, remove your shoes before entering. Leave them pointing away from the doorway. Arrive on time or no more than 5 minutes late if invited for dinner.

Dining Etiquette If you must go to the toilet, put on the toilet slippers. Punctuality is always appreciated. Unless you have been told the event is casual, dress as if you were going into the office.

Table manners The eldest person will be seated in the centre of the table. Never point your chopsticks and do not pierce your food with chopsticks. Chopsticks should be returned to the chopstick rest after every few bites and when you drink or stop to speak.

Table manners Try a little bit of everything. It is acceptable to ask what something is and even to make a face if you do not like the taste. Mixing other food with rice is not acceptable. Conversation at the table is generally subdued. The Japanese like to savor their food.

Relationships & Communication The Japanese prefer to do business on the basis of personal relationships. One way to build and maintain relationships is with greetings cards. It is important to be a good correspondent as the Japanese hold this in high esteem.

Business Meeting Etiquette Appointments are required. Even if you think you will be meeting one person, be prepared for a group meeting. The most senior Japanese person will be seated furthest from the door, with the rest of the people in descending rank.

Business Meeting Etiquette Never refuse a request, no matter how difficult or non- profitable it may appear. Always provide a package of literature about your company. Always give a small gift and present it to the most senior person at the end of the meeting.

Business Cards Business cards are exchanged constantly and with great ceremony. Invest in quality cards. Treat the business card you receive as you would the person. It is wise to have one side of your business card translated into Japanese.

Business Cards Make sure your business card includes your title, so your Japanese colleagues know your status within your organization. Business cards are given and received with two hands and a slight bow. Examine any business card you receive very carefully.

The correct way to receive a business card
