Living in Japan Today

Living in Japan Today  One of the Japanese peoples’ greatest strengths is the ability to adopt ideas and values from other cultures, and then adapt them to their own lives. This marvelous ability is evident in their religion, writing systems, housing, and even food. Yet the Japanese also preserve their own values and beliefs. In this chapter, we will look at lifestyles of the people of Japan, keeping in mind that living in Japan today also means honoring the past. FOOD  With no place in Japan being more than about 100 miles from the sea, a diet of seafood nourishes the population.

Eating beef and pork was forbidden at the end of the 17th century when Buddhist teachings were enforced.

People and Culture

Introducing Japan

It is one of the most amazing countries in the world. The Japanese call it Nippon or Nihon, meaning the source of the Sun. Others call it the Land of the Rising Sun. We call it Japan. This small nation of scattered islands off the eastern coast of mainland Asia is often called the “Miracle of the Orient.” It has risen from obscurity and self-imposed isolation to a position as a global economic giant in little more than a century. Yet considering the country’s physical geography, its history, and its huge population, Japan should have been a huge failure. Japan had to overcome many seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve its present-day place among major world nations. The Japanese peoples’ spirit, determination, work ethic, and knowledge have been their primary tools in achieving this “miracle.” Japan poses many questions. How has such a small country, with almost no natural resources, become the world’s second strongest industrial economy? How can people with traditions so dif...
