 JAPANESE CULTURE
“Japanese culture has many different uniquely
interesting aspects, both modern and traditional, such
as: cuisine, architecture, performing arts, fashion,
anime, manga and Geisha. On the one hand Japanese
culture is immersed in a rich history and deep traditions
dating back thousands of years; on the other Japanese
society is one that is in a continual state of rapid change,
and is continuously evolving with new trends in fashion,
technology and pushes the boundaries of what is
possible”
“At present, the culture of Japan stands
out as one of the leading and most pro
minent cultures around the world, mainl
y due to the global reach of its popula
r culture. If you are looking for somethin
g different and a culture like no other yo
u’ll certainly find that in Japan!”
 GEISHA
“The Geisha are considered living
custodians of Japanese culture and
one of the known symbols of
Japan. In essence, they are

of ‘Matcha’ (powdered green tea). The

“A Japanese ryokan is an inn that usually features communal or private

baths, tatami floors, local cuisine and futons. It is a not-to-be-missed
experience if you are to fully immerse yourself in the traditional lifestyle
and local hospitality of Japan”
 COSPLAY
“The term Cosplay was invented by a
Japanese reporter, Nobuyuki Takahashi,
and it is a mixture of the words costume
and play. Although Cosplay did not start in
Japan, it has influenced ordinary folk to
dress up as a character from film,
television, book, or video game, or from
the Japanese genres of Manga or Anime.
They portray characters that they love in
costumes, props or make-up”

You can find many cosplayers on the streets of Harajuku.

 MAID CAFE

“The concept of a maid cafe is influenced by

the locals' obsession with Manga and Anime.
The waitresses dress up in maid costumes,
serving customers and calling them master”
