Japanese women's passion for brand goods has the same roots as Japanese militarism(3)

... For foreign enterprises, the Japanese market must be very attractive as they can expect
to sell products in large quantities. However, on the other hand, Japanese people have
another side to their character which can be described as "easily warmed up but just as
easily cooled down." Since they are apt to purchase brand products based on the influence
of others rather than because they themselves actually love the products, they easily lose
interest in them. ...

Japanese women's passion for brand goods has the same roots as Japanese militarism(4)

... In peaceful present day Japan, it is very difficult to imagine that Japan was once a very
militaristic country. However, it is safe to say that this militant trait has essentially the same
roots as that of Japanese women who are persuaded to buy brand products.

How does Japan keep the "Three Anti-Nuclear Principles"? (1)

North Korea's reported nuclear tests had a strong impact around the world, especially in
Japan, which received a great shock. This neighboring country to Japan is called an outlaw
nation, and produces counterfeit dollar notes and drugs, and at the same time is guilty of
abducting many Japanese. Many people fear what this country is going to do next. There is
definitely a possibility that they are likely to export nuclear weapons. In Japan there is a
proverb "A mad man with a knife," that seems to be an apt description of North Korea. ...

to counter the threat from North Korea. To fan this anxiety, NAKAGAWA Shoichi, Chairman
of the Liberal Democratic Party Policy Research Council, recently said, "I think discussions
about nuclear weapons should be allowed." Also ASO Taro, Japan's Foreign Minister spoke out
in support and said, "I don't agree with those who say we should halt even debating such an
issue." Both men's comments created a sensation. ...

How does Japan keep the "Three Anti-Nuclear Principles"? (3)

... Japan is the only country to have suffered from an atomic bombing in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. People have a strong aversion to nuclear weapons. Japan has three anti-nuclear
principles, namely "Japan will never possess, produce, or permit into the country any nuclear
weapons," and it is said to be a taboo even to discuss possessing nuclear weapons. The birth
of three anti-nuclear principles goes back to the time when China conducted a nuclear test
in l964. ...

How does Japan keep the "Three Anti-Nuclear Principles"? (4)

... Former Prime Minister, SATO Eisaku, who was inaugurated soon after China's nuclear test
felt a sense of crisis. He informed the USA that Japan had an intention to possess nuclear
weapons to counter a threat from China. The Prime Minister interpreted the Japanese
Constitution, which bans the possession of armed services, in a way that would allow the
possession of nuclear weapons for self-defense. The US Government, which was increasingly
anxious about nuclear proliferation, persuaded Prime Minister Sato to abandon it as the US
said they would protect Japan with the so-called "nuclear umbrella" instead. ...

an uncle of Prime Minister ABE. The Japanese people still hold some concern over whether
the USA will actually protect Japan or not. However, US Secretary of State Condoleezza
RICE repeatedly assured Japan of its support straight after North Korea’s recently reported

How does Japan keep the "Three Anti-Nuclear Principles"? (6)

... Japan is likely the nation most capable of possessing nuclear weapons among the countries
that do not possess them when national power and technology levels are considered. The
Japanese attitude based on the three anti-nuclear principles, combined with the Japanese
Constitution, which forbids Japan from having armed forces, is an ideal model for other nations
in the world. It might even be possible to realize an end to war if every nation could adopt this
ideal. World leaders should now move to realize this ideal goal.

It has long been reputed worldwide that Japan is a safe place to live, although this reputation
has been bothered recently. The reasons for this level of safety has been studied in foreign
countries and the general conclusion seems that it is because of the nationwide network of
police boxes, or 'koban.' But behind the scenes, a community system exists that supports the
creation of safe towns by regional people through their information network. ...

... Usually, a jichikai (community circle) exists as a unit in a local area called "hon-machi

park cleaning days, locating garbage dumps, planning events such as the Bon festival,
demonstrating what to do in case of fire or earthquakes, organizing donations, and so on.
Besides committee members such as a chairman and a vice-chairman who handle many
kinds of issues based on the community policy, there are block leaders representing a large
number of families, who pass information from the committee to the families. ...

In the end, the board returns to the block leader. In this way everybody can receive the

dumps. Disposal procedures differ by city, but generally garbage should be disposed of in a
semi-transparent bag on fixed days at a fixed place. The garbage must be separated into
burnable and unburnable items. Some city offices oblige people to stick a purchased seal on
their garbage bags. ...

... Japanese people generally obey rules, not only for the disposal of garbage, while some
foreigners living in Japan don’t. This may be due to different customs, or that relevant
information doesn't reach them, or that they are indifferent or simply ignore them. The
Japanese seldom criticize these people in public, but rather tend to form an unpleasant
attitude towards them. As you can see, in order to enjoy a pleasant stay in Japan, it is
necessary for you to follow the rules at first and cherish your association with your neighbors.

Japanese behave in a very ordered way (1)

Many foreigners mention the good behavior of Japanese as one of the things that surprises
them the most after coming to Japan. Foreigners are surprised that Japanese walk in an
orderly manner in Japan's busy and crowded cities. They are also impressed to see Japanese
forming lines — even when they were receiving relief supplies directly after the Great Hanshin
Earthquake in 1995. Japanese, who essentially all belong to the same racial group, exhibit a
particular trait in that they all tend to move in the same direction. In other words, they are
good at exhibiting group behavior. ...

Japanese behave in a very ordered way (2)

... These behaviors are related to the Japanese concept of a harmonious culture in which
respect and the maintenance of good relationships with others are considered important. Not
bothering others means behaving in a respectable way as respectable people. An outstanding
example of this is the fact that Japanese are usually very punctual and on time. Japanese try
their hardest not to be late for business appointments, order deadlines, and arrivals and
departures of trains, except, of course, in the case of accidents. ...

people who are asked by a leader to applaud and give verbal approvals of a speaker's words
while pretending to be ordinary meeting participants. The meaning of this word seems to
come from the word "Sakura" (cherry blossom), which bloom in a showy fashion and then
very quickly vanish. Those who form queues in front of shops on opening days are also called
"Sakura." ...

have the government explain its undertakings and policies in a one-way dialog, but to listen
to citizens' comments and reflect them in the administration's policies. ...

... These meetings began in May 2001 when former Prime Minister KOIZUMI ordered the
creation of a "Town Meeting Section" within the Prime Minister's Office. Since then, many
discussions between government officials and citizens have been held all over Japan. For the

... In autumn 2006, it became clear that at town meetings held in prefectures beginning in
Aomori, the Prime Minister's Office had made requests through prefecture school boards
for people related to the school to ask "Yarase questions" agreeing with the revised basic
education policy. In other words, the government let the Board of Education choose
questioners who would cooperate with them in line with their revised agenda. It was also
discovered that 5,000 yen was paid to each person as a reward. ...
