A. Toil
It is common knowledge that the Japanese are hard workers. Average hours worked by employees in Japan is 2450 hours / year, is very high compared to the U.S. (1957 hours / year), UK (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year), and France (1680 hours / year) .
An employee in Japan could produce a car in nine days, while workers in other states require 47 days to make the car worth the same.
A Japanese worker may be said to be doing work normally done by 5-6 people. Home early is something that can be said to be "somewhat embarrassing" in Japan, and indicates that the employee was included "not required" by the company.
2. Shame
Shame is the ancestral culture and the Japanese people from generation to generation. Harakiri (suicide by sticking a knife into the stomach) becomes a ritual since the samurai era, when they were defeated and the battle.
Log into the modern world, the discourse was little changed to the phenomenon of "resign" for officials (ministers, politicians, etc.) involved in the problem of corruption or failed to carry out their duties feeling.
Possible negative effects are the children of elementary, junior high school who sometimes commit suicide, because its value is ugly or not the next grade.
Because shame was also the Japanese people prefer to choose a detour rather than interfere with the driver behind the cut line in the middle of the road. They are ashamed of their environment when they break the rules or norms that have become common agreement.
3. Saving lives
The Japanese have a spirit in everyday life saver. Excessive anti consumerism stance is seen in various areas of life.
In the early days of the start of life in Japan, we might be a bit surprised by the number of Japanese people crowded shopping at the supermarket at about 19:30 hours.
Quizzed had inquired, it has become commonplace that the supermarket in Japan will cut prices up to half in about half an hour before closing. As it is known that Japan's Supermarket in the average closed at 20:00.
4. Loyalty
Loyalty to make a career in a corporate system running and neatly arranged. Slightly different from the system in the U.S. and Europe, are very rare Japanese who move jobs.
They usually stay in one or two of the company until retirement. Possible implications of this industry in Japan that most would only accept fresh graduates, which they then train and educate themselves in accordance with the field plots (core business) company.
5. Innovation
Japan is not the inventor, but the Japanese have an advantage in finding people to mix and then market it in the form of a demand by the public.
Interesting to read the story of Akio Morita, who developed the legendary Sony Walkman. Cassette tape was not invented by Sony, patent owned by Phillip Electronics.
But to successfully develop and bundling as a portable model of the products is booming for decades, Akio Morita, founder and CEO of Sony at the time.
Until 1995, there were more than 300 models of the Walkman was born and the total production of 150 million products.
Mechanical assembly of four-wheeled vehicles are also not created by the Japanese, patent owned by Americans. But it turned out to Japan with innovative vehicle assembly industry can develop a faster and cheaper.
6. Abstinence Surrender
History proves that Japan includes a resilient nation and never give up. Decades of the empire under the Tokugawa closed all access to other countries, Japan is lagging behind in technology.
When the Meiji Restoration (Meiji Ishin) came, the Japanese quickly adapt and become a fast-learner. Poverty is not natural resources to make Japan surrender.
Not only be a net importer of petroleum, coal, iron ore and wood, even 85% of Japan's energy source comes from other countries including Indonesia. They say if Indonesia stops the supply of oil, then 30% of Japan will be completely dark.
Series of disasters occurred in 1945, starting from the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan followed with a losing war, and coupled with the presence of a major earthquake in Tokyo, Japan was not exhausted.
In the next few years the Japanese have managed to build the auto industry and even the fast train (shinkansen).
May be quite amazing how Konosuke Matsushita whose business was destroyed and almost out of business electronic equipment in 1945 are still able to crawl, starting from scratch to build a business empire that industry in the next era.
Akio Morita also beginning to be laughed at when offering products Tapenya tiny cassete to many other countries. But eventually a legend with the Sony Walkman.
What is also quite unique that the science and theory in which people must learn from this failure are formulated in Japan began with shippaigaku name (the science of failure).
7. Reading Culture
Do not be surprised if you come to Japan and into the Densha (trains), most of the passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers.
No matter sitting or standing, many of which utilize the Densha time to read. Many publishers are starting to make man-ga (picture comics) curriculum materials for both elementary schools, junior high and high school.
Lessons of History, Biology, Language, etc. are presented with interesting people who make the higher interest in reading. Read the Japanese culture is also supported by the speed in the process of translation of foreign books (English, French, German, etc.).
The legend says that the legend of the translation of foreign books was started in 1684, as the construction of translation and the institute continues to grow until the modern era. Usually the Japanese translation of the book is available in a few weeks since foreign books published.
8. Cooperation Group
Culture in Japan is not very accommodating work that is too individualistic. Including claims of the work, usually intended for team or group.
This phenomenon is not only the world of work, the condition of the campus with his research lab as well as that, the task subjects are also usually in the form of the group.
Working in groups is probably one of the greatest strengths of the Japanese. There is an anecdote that "a professor of Japanese would be defeated by one American professor, but the 10 American professors will not be able to defeat the Japanese professor 10 people in groups".
Consensus agreement is often called the "rin-gi" is a ritual in the group. Strategic decisions must be discussed in the "rin-gi".
9. Independent
From an early age children are trained to be independent. Even a kindergarten child had to carry 3 large bags containing clothes, bento (lunch pack), dressing shoes, books, towels and a bottle of the drink that hangs around his neck.
In Yochien every child is trained to bring their own equipment, and are responsible for their own belongings. Remove the high school and enter college do not require most of the cost to parents.
Usually they rely on part-time work for school fees and daily life. If running out of money, they "borrow" money to the parents who will they return in the next month.
10. Keep the Tradition & Honoring Parents
Technological developments and economic, did not make the Japanese lost the traditions and culture. Culture of married women not to work and live there today.
Culture is still a reflex apologize of the Japanese. If one day you ride a bike in Japan and hit a pedestrian, then do not be surprised if we hit first instead of apologizing.
Until now the Japanese are relatively avoid saying "no" when received an offer from someone else. So we must be careful in association with the Japanese for "O" not necessarily "yes" to the Japanese.
Agriculture is an ancestral tradition and an important asset in Japan. Competition is hard because of the inclusion of Thailand and the U.S. rice is cheap, did not deter the Japanese government's measures to protect farmers.
Reportedly soil cultivation to get a significant tax reductions, including a few other incentives for those who still survive in the world of agriculture. Japanese agriculture is one of the highest in the world.
