    JAPAN

    Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture; on the one hand it is steeped in
    the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years; on the other it is a
    society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions
    and technological development that constantly pushes back the boudaries of the
    possible. It could therefore be said that Japan is a country of stark contradictions
    and is in part this that makes it such a fascinating country to visit and unique
    tourist destination.

    LANGUAGE
    Japanese (日本語 nihongo) is spoken in Japan, and essentially nowhere else. The
    Japanese language is distinct from Chinese and Korean, although the written
    form uses Chinese (kanji) characters, and is not known to be related to any other
    language.

    GEISHA
    Like most nations, Japan has always had some manner of pleasure quarter
    offering various forms of entertainment, including of course, the erotic.
    Geisha are famous female traditional entertainers, who sing, dance, play
    traditional Japanese musical instruments and engage their clients with interesting
    conversation. Today there are still some active Geisha in places such as Kyoto
    and Kanazawa.

    CLOTHING FOR WOMEN


    The Kimono is the most famous form of traditional Japanese clothing for women.
    The Kimono is actually a style with many different forms; from the casual to the
    wedding style, all which have a particular meaning and are wore to different
    events or occasions.

    JAPANESE GARDEN
    The beauty of a Japanese garden has long been admired; well renowned for their
    tranquil and serene environments, as well as their unique and impressive
    aesthetics, Japanese gardens have long captured the imagination of the Western
    world, influencing landscape designers and gardeners in abundance. As many
    have discovered, the ability to create these delicately constructed and organic
    artworks is something to admire. Japanese gardens exist today as symbols of the
    many influences that have infiltrated Japanese culture; whether religious, or purely
    social, the typified characteristics of these beautiful gardens exist as a
    consequence of a dramatic cultural blend.

    JAPANESE CUISINE
    The traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes,
    each in its own utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes
    often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is
    common in the traditional cuisine. It is often grilled, but it may also be served raw
    as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter
    as tempura.

    Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon. Japan has many
    simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and
    nikujaga. Foreign food, in particular Chinese food in the form of noodles in soup
    called ramen and fried dumplings, gyoza, and western food such as curry and
    hamburger steaks are commonly found in Japan. Historically, the Japanese
    shunned meat, but with the modernization of Japan in the 1860s, meat-based
    dishes such as tonkatsu became common.

    Japan has an indigenous form of sweets called wagashi, which include ingredients
    such as red bean paste, as well as its indigenous rice wine sake.

    Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi, has now become popular throughout the
    world.

    TRADICIONAL SPORTS
    Sport plays a significant part in the fabric of modern day Japanese life. From a
    young age children join school teams, instilling a sense of camaraderie, pride,
    hard work and dedication. Though modern sports such as baseball, badminton,
    tennis and football are popular, Japan is perhaps better known for sports with a
    more ancient, traditional profile.
    The tradicional sports are Sumo, Kendo, Karate, Alkido and Judo.
