DEVELOPED BY NORIKO TAKIZAWA CRUZ AND DIANNE HOFNER SAPHIERE
From the neon glitz of Ginza to the snows of Mt Fujiyama, Japan is a land that sketches the imagination of visitors and local tourists alike. Historical isolation led the Japanese to develop an extraordinary rich and complex culture. Today its success as a commercial nation has brought new worlds of variety and complexity to its streets and given birth to a generation body neglecting and at odds with their parents and grandparents. Japan is different in so many ways that are hard to grasp by other minds. The cards on Japanese customs and behavior will engage you with the Japanese and stretch your mind in new directions.
