		The culture of Japan has evolved greatly over the years, from the country's original Jomon culture to its contemporary hybrid culture, which combines influences from Asia, Europe and North America.
		For example, as Ruth Benedict pointed out in her classic study "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", Japan has a shame culture (external reference standard) rather than the guilt culture (internal reference standard) that is more familiar in the West.
		Japan has about 100 million television sets in use, and television is the main source of home entertainment and information for most of the population.

		Japan's isolation until the arrival of the "Black Ships" and the Meiji era produced a culture distinctively different from any other, and echoes of this uniqueness persist today.
		For example, as Ruth Benedict pointed out in her classic study "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", Japan has a shame culture (external reference standard) rather than the guilt culture (internal reference standard) that is more familiar in the West.

		Japan endured intermittent periods of relative isolation from external influences, ending at the arrival of the "Black Ships" and the Meiji era; and with economic, cultural and religious influences from neighboring Asian states, produced a unique culture of its own.
		Ruth Benedict asserted in her now-discredited study "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword," that Japan has a shame culture (external reference standard) rather than the guilt culture (internal reference standard) that is more familiar in the West.
		The culture of Japanese management, so famous in the West, is generally limited to Japan's large corporations.

	Hempen culture in Japan
		Cannabis culture was suppressed and banned by US occupying forces after World War II, and today most Japanese don't realize that "marijuana" is the same plant as cannabis, which was once as much a part of Japanese culture as rice.
		Japan is starting to realize this and has begun to take steps towards meaningful alternatives such as recycling and reducing consumption, especially with wood products.
		With Japan's traditional skill at arts of the land and soul, combined with their modern prowess in manufacturing and mass-marketing, it will be exciting to see what impact the resurgence of the cannabis plant will have upon the nation's economy and culture.

	O-Koto Culture of Japan
		The Japanese harp, or O-koto, is one of a series of Japanese classical instruments that, along with the appropriate musical scales, give Japanese music and culture it's distinctive sound.
		The sound is produced by plucking the strings using artificial "nails" which are placed over two fingers and the thumb of the right hand.
		I hope you enjoyed this introduction of the Japanese Culture and the O-Koto.

	Culture of Japan - Information from Reference.com
		Although Japan is often thought of as a hard-working society with little time for pleasure, the Japanese seek entertainment wherever they can.
		This leads to the widespread application of cultural "us" and "them" studies of Japan, in which Japanese culture is placed next to Western culture (particularly the culture of the United States, rather than considered independently).
		Such studies have a tendency to overstate the importance of certain aspects of Japanese culture, as they are particularly foreign to a Western ethnocentric observer, and gloss over vital parts of the Japanese culture as they are not remarkable from an ethnocentric perspective.

	Nightly Business Report . Video #7 - Is there a new corporate culture developing in Japan? \| PBS
		His assessment is that middle-aged Japan, burdened by recession fears, the constant threat of management restructuring and high housing and education costs, is showing "growing dissatisfaction with current lifestyles.".
		Japan's current pension system has been stretched to breaking point by a rapidly aging society, cripplingly low interest rates and bureaucratic inefficiency.
		The consensus of opinion among experts is that although change in the corporate culture of Japan will be slow, it is already taking place and it is necessary in light of the economic difficulties facing the government, companies and individuals alike.

	Hempen Culture In Japan
		Japan quickly engineered trains, steamships, silk factories and mining operations, surpassing in a few decades the growth of industry that had taken Europe and America close to a century.
		Japan is 80% forested much of that is in steep, sharp mountain ranges, an often startling fact to "Gaijin" (foreigners) who have never visited the scenic countryside of rural Japan.
		While Japan maintains much of it's own forests in a sustainable and responsible manner, companies and consumers continue to be a major detrimental force in the wholesale destruction of foreign forests to feed its thirst for mass media publications and information.

	Hemp Library: Hemp culture in Japan
		In historic Japan (as in China before) everybody's wallet used to be a piece of hemp, the most durable and trusted natural fibre known to man.
		The struggle to liberate and revive marijuana is therefore a struggle to renew Japanese culture and liberate the country from the occupation policies and colonial subjugation of the United States.
		If we look at the question of hemp, it appears as if Japan, the "economic superpower," is in reality no more than a subordinate of the U.S. Even as the U.S. conducts its anti-marijuana campaign, its elites understand the importance of hemp, and they continue to conduct research on it.
