Content (what is the article about). Write at least 100 words.

We as humans, have so many diversities and each of us are special the way
we are. We have our own nation, beliefs, and cultures. Today im going to talk
about Japan's culture. Japan is well known for their literature and traditional
arts. Not just that, they are known for their martial arts, such as aikido, sumo
wrestling, and karate. They uphold the existence of calligraphy and poetry.
They have their own animation style which is patently popular, that is anime.
Most teens probably already heard that term, them and even adults have
watched it before.

Japan isn't a very big country unlike Indonesia or Russia but it's one of
most country who has the oldest civilizations. And that is another reason why
it has so many beautiful cultures. In my view, most unique about their culture
is how it blends of old and new. They are both traditional and ultramodern
when it comes to their people's lifestyle. You probably only see people bow
frequently on countries like Korea, China, and of course Japan. Kids on there
are taught well too, the first thing they learn in school are good manners.

Japan traditional architecture is quite unique too, you can find distinctive
feature on it's shrines, temples, and houses. They also has a yearly festival
which is enlivened by launching fireworks.

I strongly agree with the writer, i think the way me and the writer view japan's culture
are very similar. Japan is very beautiful with its distinctive culture and eye-pleasing
scenery in it's nature. The way the writer on quora shared his personal experience while
traveling to Japan and understanding it's culture gave me some fun facts and details
about their culture.
