Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Japan has a very distinct culture compared to its neighbors, and one aspect noted by many visitors to Japan — especially Western ones — is the extreme emphasis on politeness. Although other Asian cultures often come across to Westerners as obsessed with confusing rules of etiquette, the Japanese have a reputation for being ridiculously polite even in other Asian countries. This is all a relic from the Middle Ages, when Japanese society was built around a rigidly hierarchical caste system. It's Truth in Television, but seems to come out in broad parody. |
