Japan is a unique country where many national traditions have been
preserved to this day, which may seem strange to an undereducated
person.
 The expression "no"
does not exist
There are many ways in which the Japanese can

USING A FORK

IS NOT To this day, the use of wooden chopsticks as cutlery in
Japan remains unchanged. It is clear that the modern

RECOMMENDED generation is increasingly abandoning this tradition,

however, it should not be neglected.

Any restaurant in Japan can provide a choice of
appliances that are convenient for you. And yet, effective
communication in Japan has an indirect effect. When
your Japanese colleagues see you awkwardly holding
chopsticks, struggling to grasp rice or other signs, they
will understand you without words. And they will gladly
ask to bring a fork for you.
WHEN TO ADD "-SAN" TO AN EMPLOYEE'S LAST
NAME, AND WHEN NOT TO

Many people who know how to work with the

Japanese have learned to add the name suffix "-
san". It is one of the most common forms of
courtesy in Japan, used to establish
relationships and social hierarchy between two
people.
If in the USA people call Mr. or Miss,
regardless of social or professional level,
then in Japan the relationship is not so
balanced, here the consumer is more
important. When referring to a colleague
in the presence of a client, the suffix "-san"
is usually added to the surname as a sign
of respect.
The welcoming bow hides a lot of essence

Shaking hands is not acceptable when meeting Japanese people. Bowing is traditional. However, this
is not just a bow, but, one might say, a whole art. Most people doing business and negotiating with
Japanese partners say that it is better not to bow at all than to do it wrong.
Be careful in expressing
words in a foreign language

As a rule, a good businessman hoping for a

successful deal will learn a few words in his
partner's language. It's not that difficult,
besides, it will show your interest and respect.
However, you need to be very careful in this.
In Japan, there are no such complexities in the
language as in China, where there are 6
tonalities of one word, which with different
pronunciation will have a completely different
meaning. However, any expression can have а
peculiar meaning.
