Top Ten Bizarre Japanese Customs

Every nation has customs that are odd to other nations. Japan has many that are uniquely weird to the rest of the world. Listed below are ten other bizarre things as customs in Japan.

10. To take a bath in Japan, it is expected that you first wash completely.

9. Bicyclists wear gloves for safety, but no one wears a helmet.

8. After you have bought an item in a store, the cashier or clerk will follow you outside. Then, after bowing will offer you cookies and tea. Facts are, you won’t get that service in the anywhere else!

7. An umbilical cord of the newborn baby is often placed in a Kotobuki Bako box. Kotobuki means celebration of new birth, longevity, and marriage, while Bako means box.

6. At the Suiten-gu Shrine, located in Nihombashi, near the Suitengumae Station, this Dog Diety statue is dedicated to the God of safe childbirth. If an expectant mother rubs the mother dog, she is to have an easy and safe childbirth

5. Seppuku (Hara-Kiri) was an ancient form of suicide ritual by a samurai warrior. It was performed rather than face shame, or being captured by the enemy.

4. Through the centuries, Japan has had Geisha girls. The numbers have dwindled but they still perform. Young girls are brought into a wealthy home, by tradition, and undergo rigorous training to learn traditional singing, dancing, playing a music instrument, and more.

3. The Japanese bean throwing ceremonies are performed nation-wide on the Setsubun, the first day of Spring ( early February).

2. Japanese women shave all body hair and their eyebrows.

1. Bowing is customary in Japan. This is also called “ojigi”. Bowing before someone means that you are humbling yourself , and giving honor to the other person. Typically, however, the other person returns with an ojigi.

RADIATION TEST!!!

Japan Tests Cars for Radiation

Japanese Automakers Test Cars for Nuclear Radiation

Auto production in Japan has been affected due to the 11March tsunami and quake. Production of vehicles by Japanese car makers Honda and Toyota is now running at half of their total production capacity. The automotive industry in Japan was struck by spare parts shortage. Apart from reduction in car production level and shortage of auto spare parts, the other reason is the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. A fear of nuclear radiation is affecting the export of many products from Japan.
According to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, there is no report regarding Japanese cars contaminated with nuclear radiation being exported to other countries. Though other countries have imposed restrictions on imports of processed foods, dairy and agricultural products from Japan, there is no such restriction being imposed on importing cars from Japan. As per JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association ) which represent 14 major Japanese truck, car and motorcycle makers, the radiation levels around Japanese car production sites and ports does not pose any danger that will affect human health.Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association has given full assurance regarding the safety of all automobiles manufactured in Japan. But at the same time, JAMA is aware the need for customers faith in such safety. To make it more clear whether the cars are safe or not, Japan announced that it would monitor the radiation levels of exported cars.

The First Throne

Emperor Jimmu

Emperor Jimmu (神武天皇 Jinmu-tennō^?) was the first Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He is also known as Kamuyamato Iwarebiko, his personal names are Wakamikenu no Mikoto or Sano no Mikoto.

The Imperial house of Japan traditionally based its claim to the throne on its descent from Jimmu. No firm dates can be assigned to this early emperor's life or reign, nor for the reigns of his early successors. Most modern historians dismiss this entire period as being beyond what history can know. The reign of Emperor Kimmei (509?-571 AD), the 29th emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, is the first for which contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates.

Modern scholars have come to question the existence of at least the first nine emperors; and Jimmu's descendant, Emperor Sujin is the first many agree might have actually existed. Most contemporary historians still agree that it is unlikely any of the recorded emperors existed until those about five hundred years after Suijin's reign, about a millennium after Jimmu's recorded reign. The name Jimmu-tennō was assigned to him posthumously by later generations.

Archaeologists and historians regard Jimmu as mythical or legendary.In Japanese mythology, the Age of the Gods is the period before Jimmu's accession.

It is not certain whether he actually existed or if he may have been a composite figure.The conventionally accepted names and dates of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu (737–806), the 50th sovereign of the Yamato dynasty.

According to Shinto belief, Jimmu is regarded as a direct descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. Amaterasu had a son called Ame no Oshihomimi no Mikoto and through him a grandson named Ninigi-no-Mikoto. She sent her grandson to the Japanese islands where he eventually married Konohana-Sakuya-hime. Among their three sons was Hikohohodemi no Mikoto, also called Yamasachi-hiko, who married Toyotama-hime. She was the daughter of Ryūjin, the Japanese sea god. They had a single son called Hikonagisa Takeugaya Fukiaezu no Mikoto. The boy was abandoned by his parents at birth and consequently raised by Tamayori-hime, his mother's younger sister. They eventually married and had a total of four sons. The last of these sons, Kamu-Yamato-Iwarebiko, became Emperor Jimmu.

It is said that soon after the beginning of Jimmu's reign, a Master of Ceremonies (saishu) was appointed. This office was commonly held by a member of the Nakatomi clan after the eighth century.

World's Smallest Street Legal Car.

The Peel P50 is a three-wheeled microcar originally manufactured in 1962 and 1965) by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man. It retailed for £199 when new (1963 Model), and currently holds the record for the smallest automobile to go into production.
Designed as a city car, it was advertised as capable of seating "one adult and a shopping bag." The vehicle's only door was on its left side, and equipment included a single windscreen wiper and only one headlight. Standard colors were Daytona White, Dragon Red and Dark Blue.
In 2010 production of a replica version was started by a newly formed company, called Peel Engineering Ltd based in England (not to be confused with the original Peel Engineering Company from the Isle of Man). Externally this car was very similar to the original but with many major mechanical differences in the suspension, steering and drivetrain. Driven by an electric motor and with a top speed of 16 km/h (10 mph), this version was produced as a display vehicle and was not road legal. In 2011 production commenced on a new road legal petrol version. Most colors from the original are used in the 2010 models with only Dark Blue being replaced by Capri Blue.
Production is located in an undisclosed location in northern England.

JUDO

"The aim of Judo is to utilize physical and mental strength most effectively. Its training is to understand the true meaning of life through the mental and physical training of attack and defense. You must develop as a citizen to society."

Professor Jigoro Kano Founder of Kodokan Judo

Judo came into existence as forms of unarmed combat, which were grouped under the general name "Jujitsu" or "the gentle practice." The object of all these martial arts forms was to avoid an enemy's strength through leverage, speed, and technique. Medieval Japanese warriors practiced many different combat skills. Since Jujitsu was strictly a combat technique, contests were rare and were decided only by the death or crippling of one of the contestants.

When Japanese society began to change structurally in the 1860's, feudal lords no longer retained their private armies; the martial arts, including Jujitsu, began to die out. In the early 1880's, Professor Jigoro Kano, a teacher from Tokyo and an expert in many types of Jujitsu, decided to save some of these ancient arts. He modified or eliminated the most dangerous of the Jujitsu techniques and created a new discipline, which he called "Judo" or "the gentle way."

Judo is "the gentle way" because the end result is maximum efficiency with minimum effort. As a sport, rather than simply a combat form, Judo includes a code of sportsmanship, a sense of mutual respect, and a system of ethical and moral development. Judo is both an art and a science. As an art, Judo enables its practitioners to gain self-respect, self-confidence, and self-expression; as a science, it involves a mastery of such basic natural laws as gravity, friction, momentum, weight transmission, and unity of forces.

From its simple beginnings in nineteenth-century Japan, Judo has spread in popularity throughout the world, even to the point of being introduced as an Olympic Sport in 1964. Its rich, medieval heritage combined with Professor Kano's modern, scientific approach has made Judo into the exciting sport it is today.

Onbashira

The Onbashira Festival has been held every six years for 1,200 years when the shrine's buildings of Suwa Taisha are rebuilt at Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, in the Chubu region of Japan. It last took place in 1998 and will next take place in 2004. The climax of the festival consists of the Kiotoshi (young men ride the logs as they slide down a steep slope) and the Tate Onbashira (later as they are raised as pillars). The Tate Onbashira is particularly well-known because it was presented at the opening ceremony of the Nagano Olympics in 1998. The Onbashira Festival is also known as one of Japan's big three fanciful festivals.
Suwa Taisha has four shrine buildings. For the Onbashira Festival, huge trees are cut from the forest. Each shrine building requires four pillars, one at each corner, so a total of 16 pillars are erected. These huge pillars are called "Onbashira" and mark off the sacred space of the shrine.
The festival consists of two parts that take place over a two-month period: Yamadashi (pulling Onbashira trunks out of the mountains) and Satobiki (hauling the Onbashira trees to the shrine's grounds). During this time a festive mood prevails over the whole Suwa area.
When the festival was last held in 1998, it attracted about 1.78 million people.
In the Yamadashi, which takes place at the beginning of April, 16 tree trunks are brought from the forest. They are cut from 200-year-old Japanese fir trees. The largest are 1 meter across (1.1 yd.), weighing around 12 t and measuring about 16 m long (17.5 yd.). In the Kiotoshi, a part of Yamadashi, people sit on the onbashira and slide down a steep 30- to 40- degree slope that measures about 100 m (110 yd.). This is the most exciting spectacle of the festival at the risk of people's lives.
The trunks are rested for about a month until the Satobiki Festival at the beginning of May, when they are taken to the shrine precincts and erected as Onbashira.
It takes 3 days to move the trunks a total of 10 kilometers (about 6 miles). Special songs are sung as people haul the trunks. Besides hauling the Onbashira, other festivities include the "samurai" cavalcade and a dance with traditional flower arranged hats spreads over a wide area in parades.
At the culmination of the festival, the Onbashira arrive at the shrine buildings to be erected in the Tate Onbashira. Two ropes are wrapped around each onbashira and they are pulled into an upright position with young men sitting on them. The young men who remain at the top of the onbashira as it rises 16 meters above the ground, perform some feats.
The completion of Tate Onbashira brings to an end a festival that, including time for preparation, lasts three years.

Japan’s Spectacular Floating Airports

What happen when there’s no suitable land to build a new major airport or there are protest about the new construction without hesitation due to noise pollution or other environmental implications?

If you travel to Japan in the near future, you may witness a solution to these problems in the form of floation airports. At present there are four such constructions in Japan . Each built on its own artificial island offshore and each backed by the community it serves. The first of these incredible engineering wonders to be built and the first of its kind in the world was Kansai International Airport in Osaka Bay. Just to build the 4 kilometres long island called for 21 million cubic metres of landfill plus the assistance of 80 ships, then there was the small matter of connecting the airport to the mainland by way of a 3 kilometres bridge. In total the project has so far cost around $20 billion, but has already saved some expense by surviving both an earthquake and a typhoon in the last 15 years, in addition being open 24 hours a day due to its location.

Here are Japan’s four floating airports :

Kansai International Airport

New Kitakyushu Airport

Kobe Airport

Chubu Centrair International Airport
