Japan of Civilization

Culture: In Japan, we ware Kimono for a New Year. They have a lot of different colors of that cloth. For girls, they tie the big ribbons at the back. At the arms, the cloth is very long like round the waist. And wear a high shoe, which is made out of trees.
For boys, the color is only 3 types of colors. Which is black, white, or very dark blue.
They put a fluffy white ball on the front around the waist. We use to eats like an Osechi, and Ozouni. For Osechi, they put some fish, beans, chicken, egg, vegetables, kelp, sweet-chestnut, and steamed fish paste. That is a healthy food to eat. For Ozouni, they have yuzu, honewort, chicken, and rice cake. It also depends on the houses.

Arts: In Japan, some people learn, or write the calligraphy. We write a Japanese character or Japanese words. We use a one thin paper to write on, and we use the charcoal to write with. Another one is call Origami. We use a colorful paper. And you try to fold it. Like make a shape of animals, flower, or what ever. We also have Japanese China Ware. You can make out of clay. And when its dry, then you could uses for a cup, or what ever.
The last one is Japanese Fabric. It is made out of silk. It’s used for a cloth, curtains, etc.

Religion: In Japan, all most everyone is on Buddhism. Which is an Asian religion based on the teaching of Gautama Siddhartha. But some of them could be something else like Christian.

Writing: In Japan, we use to write a word with a Japanese character, and another 2 words. One is call “katakana.” The another one is “hiragana.” It is an almost same, but little-bit different.

Government: Japan has a national government with legislative, administrative and judicial functions. The nation is divided into 47 prefectures. The prefectural and municipal assembly members are popularly elected for four-year terms.
Technology: Some of Japan's more important technological contributions are found in the fields of electronics, machinery, robotics, optics, chemicals, semiconductors and metals.
Social Structure: About 400 years ago, Japanese society was classified in 4 categories, namely, Samurai, Farmers, Industries and commerce. Families who belong to each classification have to take over same job and society position. But, after World War II, democracy was introduced and free selection for any job was allowed for everybody as one of human rights.
Stable Food Supply: Japan is relied on importing many foods from other countries to maintain a stable food supply domestically. World peace is one of the conditions for Japanese to live so that we can enjoy variety of foods over the world.
