Japan through the keywords

The content of this book is based on the 2008 and 2009 calendar published by Nihon-no-kaze. "Features of Japan" in 2008 was said to foreigners "I wanted to know this kind of thing!". Regarding "2009 events in Japan", it was made by Japanese people who have experience of living abroad. "I could not answer even if asked about Japan, and their reflections that I should have studied Japan more" became a catalyst for this. In a word, traditional Japanese (Wa) culture is "food and clothing, all environment friendly". At its root is "harmony" and "symbiosis". Recently, Koyasan is popular among tourists from abroad. Now their consciousness seems to be fascinated by the spirit in Japan. “Wa” spirit is an important Wa mind of Japan that can spread to the world today as global environmental conservation is called for. The world begins to realize this value and is trying to understand. For overseas people Japanese culture seems to be relaxing and exciting. Seeing Japanese culture through the eyes of the world understands the characteristics of Japan and intellectual curiosity also expands. I sincerely hope that readers will understand Japan through this book.
