	Japanese people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shinto was one of the traditional grounds for the right to the throne of the Japanese imperial family, and was codified as the state religion in 1868 (state Shinto was abolished by the American occupation in 1945).
		The Japanese people's religious concerns are mostly directed towards mythology, traditions, and neighborhood activities rather than as the single source of moral guidelines for one's life.
		Recently, however, both Japanese and non-Japanese academics predominantly argue that the Japanese are descended from both the Yayoi, who emigrated from Korea, and the long-established native Jomon people, with whom the Yayoi intermarried.

	Japanese language at AllExperts
		Japanese emigrant communities (the largest of which are to be found in Brazil) frequently employ Japanese as their primary language.
		Japanese is a pro-drop language, meaning that the subject or object of a sentence need not be stated if it is obvious from context.
		Modern Japanese is written in a mixture of three main systems: kanji, characters of Chinese origin used to represent both Chinese loanwords into Japanese and a number of native Japanese morphemes; and two syllabaries: hiragana and katakana.

		A Japanese person can choose to spell out their name (normally written in Kanji - see below) in Hiragana, however as a Westerner with a foreign name (even if you are of Japanese descent and have a Japanese name) you normally wouldn't use Hiragana for your name or any other non-Japanese word.
		Kanji (a Japanese word literally meaning "Chinese Character") are the characters that the Japanese have borrowed from the Chinese langauge.
		Japanese can be written and read like English from left to right, top of the page to the bottom of the page.

	JAPANESE CULTURE -- A PRIMER FOR NEWCOMERS
		The Japanese have been raised to think of themselves as part of a group, and their group is always dealing with other groups.
		Japanese use a lot of discrimination -- Chinese and Koreans are usually referred to by their nationality, not as "gaijin", unless speaking in legal terms.
		With big Japanese cities having extemely high population densities, personal space is scarce, and with little space in front of you many Japanese retreat to the only space they can; inside their heads.

		You remove them before entering the tatami room, the traditional Japanese room where the floor is covered with a number of tightly woven straw mats used for sleeping at night or for a traditional ceremony like a tea ceremony.
		In addition to taking long, hot baths at home and at public bathhouses, the Japanese take great pleasure in soaking in the natural hot springs that are in abundance due to the volcanic origins of the country.

	Japanese Dictionary
		As most Japanese students have already had several years of the study of the English language as is required within the Japanese educational system, a book of this type could help to reenforce the knowledge of English they already have.
		Japanese students of English must contend with similar problems, as it is just as difficult for Japanese students to learn the techniques of English conversation.

		If a Japanese person were to mindlessly pick a color for a menu, it would not be red.
		Japanese restaurants do not usually deal with a large number of deliveries, so they do not think that carefully when they are printing their menus.
		There is a Japanese styled restaurant that is mediocre on Centre street that is owned by a Chinese person and even though the food isn't as great as the best Japanese restaurant the decor isn't half bad and they have none of those cheap exploitive gimmicks in your White Paper.

	Japanese Writing
		Not the least of these challenges was the fact that when writing Japanese characters, you must follow a specific order and direction of the strokes in order to be understood by a native reader of Japanese.
		Several times when trying to communicate through writing, I was met with blank looks of incomprehension, because what to me looked like the character for "water" looked to the average Japanese person like a scribbled mess.
		Any book that deals with Japanese writing (two I have found immensely useful are Reading Japanese by Jorden and Chaplin, and Essential Kanji by P. O'Neill) will indicate stroke order, but I feel that a static representation doesn't really create much of an impression.

	Calger's Anime Shrine: Japanese-English Glossary
		This word is extremely important in Japanese; it acts not only as a mark of politeness (the casual form of "desu", used between friends, is "da") but makes a complete sentence in the same way the various forms of "to be" do in English.
		The Japanese have the habit of sometimes referring to strangers or aquaintances with familial terms.
		Japanese kids spend most of their compulsory education learning Kanji, and because they're so stringent about it Japan has one of the highest literacy rates in the world (96%!) For a fantastic and extremely informative site on Kanji and the Japanese writing system in general, please visit The Kanji SITE.

		Yes, have dated/was married to a 100% Japanese person in the past.
		I do take into account that you don't have to be 100% Japanese to speak Japanese and that there are many non Japanese people that speak it and understand the culture, but for the sake of this poll, i want to ask the Halvsies how they feel about dating Japanese people.
		Of the five Japanese girls I've dated, only one was overtly materialistic and wanted me to buy stuff for her, and two others owned designer goods themselves but never expected me to buy the stuff for them.

	The Japanese Writing System
		As you may or may not know, the Japanese writing system is comprised of three writing systems used with each other, Hiragana (used for Japanese words), Katakana (used for foreign words) and Kanji (used for Japanese words as well).
		Kanji are taken directly from the Chinese and so the kanji in china and the kanji in Japan are the same but are pronounced differently.
		No Japanese person or any other person fro that matter knows every kanji and I believe that the average Japanese person knows less then a thousand kanji, probably around 800 for a well educated Japanese person.

		Sometimes when I approached a Japanese person to ask for directions they seemed most startled to see a young Australian girl trying to converse in their native tongue.

	70 Japanese Gestures - Manga / Comics
		If you're a fan of the Japanese culture, then you know that communication is often full of non-verbal communication - hand gestures, body movements.
		For example, what does it mean when a Japanese person puts a pair of fists in front of their nose, making their nose look longer?
