“Come here"

The “come here” gesture in Japan is when they raise their hand with the palm toward
the person they are calling, moving their fingers quickly up and down.It means "come
here," not "go away," like in some countries like Vietnam.

O.K.
If you want to say "OK,” you can give a person a thumbs-
up or make a big O shape above your head with your
arms to indicate “okay!” (called maru in Japanese). This
means O.K. It shows an acceptance or agreement.

And the sign that is used for OK in the United States (a


thumb and an index finger form a circle; other fingers are stretched out) means “money” in Japan, which
is considered a fairly crass gesture in Japan.
