Japan as a country has a cultural background that is wide ranging and special. A growing number of people have taken fancy to a culture that has a unique ability to pique a person's interest and pull them in deeper. The Japanese are now known more for their fascinating exports that grew from an age of modernization than anything else.
This cannot be more true than in her export of fashion. The Japanese never rest on their laurels and are always on the cutting edge when it comes to designing and dressing up. This has meant becoming an industry leader especially in the surrounding regions.
Fashion in Japan has huge variety. There is the popular street fashion that is copied in other Asian cities like Seoul and Singapore, while Western youth have taken to it readily. The more off-center Japanese Cosplay and Kogal fashions also enjoy hardcore cult followings all over the world due to the explosion of anime's popularity.
Japanese popular music is another of its global export that has taken a life of its own. Within Asia, it is certainly the mainstream music form that has the largest followings within the region. It has steadily grown in authority in Western countries as well, due in no small part to the relentless marketing by the record labels.
The same foreigners who have developed a love for anything Japanese have not spared the language either. There has been a constant influx of people who have made the effort to study the language in Japan, as well as to soak in the culture and atmosphere right in the country. A strong desire to learn more about Japan is at the heart of this movement.
There are other cultural exports that are more refined from Japan. These include calligraphy and art with tones that originated from the East Asian country. While brush art was born in China, the Japanese have adopted it as their own and given it their own twist.
There is an overriding obsession with cute and kitschy items in Japan. This has grown from their mentality and fondness for them since the modernization of the country gathered pace. The need to export also led to a heavy concentration on unique designs which eventually developed into a national identity that focused on cuteness.
The above are just some of the unique features about Japanese culture. They are also amongst the most popular ones that are often used to identify the country and her people. With such fascinating traits and exotic charm, there is much more waiting for you to learn about them. - 15343
