1. Multiplicity

Japanese culture is the product of the coexistence and mixture of Eastern and Western cultures with different systems. In my words, it might as well be called "hybrid culture." Examples abound around us. For example, the political system has learned from Western parliamentary politics while retaining the traditional emperor system. It is a mixture of old and new politics.

In terms of clothing, food and housing, combine it with Western style, suit and kimono, Japanese food and Western food, and Japanese-style room and Western-style living room. In terms of religious beliefs, gods and Buddhas are integrated into one, worshiping both gods and Buddhas

2. Uniformity

Japanese culture is not restricted by region or religion and has uniformity. It cannot be said that there are no differences in customs and habits across Japan, but they are relatively small in comparison. Customs and habits, people's thinking and behavior, etc. are very different.

For example: There is no place in Japan that does not regard "sashimi" (raw fish) and "おsushi" (sushi) as delicacies, and there is no place in Japan that does not eat "raw eggs" (raw eggs) , do not drink "miso juice" (miso soup). With a narrow land and a large population, the Japanese have long developed the habit of attaching importance to the collective and the country, which can be seen as the main reason for the uniformity of Japanese culture.
