Blog Post #6

The culture that I’ve chosen is Japanese culture.

  • Five new things I learned about the culture:
    • There are two main religions, Shinto and Buddhism
    • There are subtle changes in the gender gap in Japan but it has a long way to come
    • Children are the center of the family
    • Comic books and animations became really popular here
    • Traditional arts like the tea ceremony, flower arranging and dance that express Japan’s cultural heritage are greatly valued
  • Japanese embroidery (nihon shishu) uses silk and metal threads, this kind of embroidery is used on kimonos and other textiles
  • The only common theme is bright colors, red, silk fabrics and many unique shapes within the garments
  • They use a lot of reds and vibrant colors to make silk patterns pop out
