About Japan

Akiko Uchino

In Japan, a prime minister is designated by congress and is appointed by the Emperor. Although the prime minister can be re-elected as many as possible, no one has been re-elected so far. The prime minister can be impeached by congress. I guess…some prime ministers have been impeached until now. In Japan, while Japanese is spoken by most people, Korean, Chinese, and other languages are spoken by some people (mostly by foreigners). Whereas cars are exported to everywhere, wine is imported form Europe. Japan is considered nothing special country by people in Japan. On the other hand, Japan is considered historical country by people in other countries. Shoji (shoji screen), tatami mat, and Japanese paper are produced in Japan. At dinner time, things in their daily life is discussed by people. On-coming generation is worried by people in Japan. Walkman was invented by a Japanese person.

Japanese paper is so beautiful I can only bow my head in admiration. So many parts of everyday Japanese life are exquisite. Of course, Japanese life has problems as well, but to a foreigner visiting it is an extraordinarily rich culture.
