A bilingual book in which the head of the Ogasawara School of Etiquette concisely explains the key points and meanings of etiquette and customs cherished in Japan since ancient times, with English translations.
Aimed not only at foreigners but also at Japanese people who lack knowledge of etiquette, it explains these distinctive customs in a question-and-answer format, such as:
“Why do Japanese people bow deeply when greeting someone?”
“Why is a tip wrapped in paper when given?”
It explains these distinctive customs in a question-and-answer format.
Through these “why?” questions—some of which even Japanese people might not be able to answer immediately—the book conveys the essence of Japanese culture concisely and clearly.
It also clearly explains customs related to weddings, funerals, and annual events from the perspective of “how to explain them to foreigners in a way that is easy to understand.”
