Hierarchy in the family
From time immemorial in Japan, it has been the custom that senior members of the clan enjoy great respect. This attitude is now preserved. They always talk respectfully with the elders, and after death they often hang their portraits in a visible place to feel the presence and protection of their ancestors.

Work
In Japan, it is customary to work in one place all my life. Moreover, in this area, continuity and respect for senior members of the family remain. If the father worked in a particular corporation, it is a great honor for his son to work in the same company. And, of course, it is a shame, or at least an undesirable fact, to change jobs.
The Japanese work a lot and efficiently. They come in advance, leave later than the end of work. They consider it their duty to finish everything to the end, and if everyone has already completed it, to express their respect to the company in this way. An unusual feature is the process of discharge - beating the doll of the boss. The leadership was not accepted to wish evil, but all their discontent must be thrown out onto the doll.

Minimalism
Japanese housing is rarely full of furniture. The Japanese spread their bed, as a rule, on the floor. Dine often sitting on pillows at a low table. But the Japanese housing is equipped with all kinds of appliances. Satellite TV, robotic vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, automated housing maintenance systems - all this is present in the life of most Japanese.

Healthy lifestyle
The Japanese on average live almost longer than all other nations. And there is a reasonable explanation for this. Moderate healthy eating, engaging in active activities contribute to longevity. The Japanese eat not only rolls. But plant and animal seafood make up a significant part of their diet.
Among other sports, the Japanese most honor martial arts and gymnastics. Although football is also popular among the younger generation. Industrial gymnastics is an indispensable attribute of many working Japanese.
