	Culture of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese cuisine is a product of its environment and people; the ease of acquiring fresh ingredients led to sushi, high temperature and humidity led to varieties of pickled and fermented food like natto and soy sauce, and an adaptation of foreign cuisines led to ramen.
		Japanese is known to be related to the nearby Ryukyuan languages, forming the Japonic language family; an earlier theory that it is a language isolate related to no surviving tongues is a popular misconception.
		The Japanese writing system is actually three or four writing systems used in tandem: kanji, which are logograms adopted from Chinese writing, and the two kana syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, which developed from kanji; the Latin alphabet, called romaji when used to write Japanese, is also common.

		Mobile phones began to proliferate through the 1980s with the introduction of "cellular" phones, with multiple base stations located relatively close to each other, and protocols for the automated "hand-off" between two cells when a phone moved from one cell to the other.
		Mobile phones must be distinguished from portable phones (called cordless phones in the US); with a portable phone the user purchases their own base station, which they connect to a landline, the range of the phone is generally restricted to under 50 m, and the phones operate on a different frequency and protocol (e.g.

		As a result, “the phone call became somewhat shared in the family.” When a parent answered a phone call for one of the children, they were informed of their children’s friends and had access to the conversation as the phone was fixed and in the public space of the household.

		Matsumura concluded that the cell phone didn’t necessarily create a distance between parent and children; it was just that the parents needed to use the same communication tools their children use.
