Here are some suggestions for giving gifts to the Japanese:
In international communication, people often express gratitude and congratulations by giving gifts to enhance friendship. When giving gifts to foreign friends, we should consider the preferences of the recipient as much as possible. "Give whatever the recipient likes" is the most basic gift-giving principle. If you don't know each other's preferences, it is safer to choose handicrafts with national characteristics. China's common kites, erhu, flute, paper-cutting, chopsticks, stamps, facial makeup, calligraphy and painting, tea, etc. are often favored by foreign friends, and their value is multiplied. Gifts are not important, but they should be appropriate. Sometimes giving too expensive gifts will upset the recipients. Japanese Japanese people regard giving gifts as a material expression of expressing their wishes to each other. The gift is not thick. If it is delivered properly, it will leave a deep impression on the other party. China's Four Treasures of the Study, celebrity calligraphy and painting, handicrafts and so on are the most popular, but the size of calligraphy and painting should not be too large. Gift packaging should not be hasty, even a box of tea should be careful, but the Japanese dare not tie a bow. China people pay attention to sending cigarettes and wine, while Japanese people send wine without cigarettes. China people give gifts in pairs, while Japanese people avoid giving gifts in pairs. They usually use odd numbers such as 1, 3, 5, 7, but they are afraid of "9" because the pronunciation of "9" is the same as "bitter" in Japanese. According to Japanese custom, gifts for individuals must be given in private, not in public.
Then there is the basic Japanese etiquette about giving gifts and being a guest.
The Japanese are very interested in Shaoxing wine and Maotai wine in China. Don't eat preserved eggs You are very particular about using chopsticks. They are all on the chopsticks rack. There is also the custom of "avoiding eight chopsticks", that is, you can't lick chopsticks, mess with chopsticks, move chopsticks, twist chopsticks, pick chopsticks, insert chopsticks, cross chopsticks and dig chopsticks. At the same time, it is also forbidden to use the same pair of chopsticks to let everyone take turns to pick up vegetables, nor can they be inserted vertically in rice. Welcome to present calligraphy works or exquisite seals to the Japanese. We usually bow when we meet Japanese in China. Generally, people bow to each other at 30 degrees and 45 degrees, and the depth of bowing and bending is different, indicating different meanings. The lowest and most polite bow is called "the most salute". When a man bows, his hands naturally hang down on both sides of his clothes and trousers; When showing respect for each other, people usually put their left hand on their right hand and bow in front of it, especially women. In international communication, Japanese people are also used to shaking hands, especially young people or people who have more contact with Europeans and Americans have begun to have the habit of shaking hands when they meet. In Japan, business cards are widely used, especially for businessmen, who have the habit of exchanging business cards when they meet for the first time. It is considered polite to exchange business cards with the junior or younger party first. When submitting a business card, point to the other party. Business cards are written as "name thorns" in Japanese, and most of the business cards used by women are smaller than those used by men. Japanese people are very particular about sitting posture. In the company, the Japanese all sit in chairs, but at home, the Japanese still maintain the traditional habit of sitting on tatami. The correct sitting posture of tatami is called "front seat", which means kneeling on the ground with your knees together and your hips pressed on your heels. Easy sitting posture includes "cross-legged sitting" and "sideways sitting": "cross-legged sitting" means that the feet are crossed in front and the hips are on the ground, which is a male sitting posture; "Sitting sideways" means that the legs are slightly sideways and the body does not press the feet. This is often a sitting posture of women. Nowadays, the younger generation who don't sit on tatami is gradually increasing. Japanese treat people seriously, with high efficiency, showing strong discipline and self-control. Appointments are always punctual and seldom late. Japanese people don't like tit-for-tat words and deeds and impatient style, and regard being good at controlling their behavior as a virtue. They advocate keeping a low profile, avoiding staring at each other when speaking, and bowing to show modesty and education. In social activities, Japanese people like to use self-deprecating language, such as "please take care of more" and "tea is not good and care is not good", and they often use self-deprecating language when speaking. In daily life, Japanese people are modest and polite, and there are few quarrels between colleagues and pedestrians. Don't tell the Japanese what to do when you are talking, and don't interrupt others when they are talking. When talking to more than three people, be careful not to ignore most people. During the conversation, don't ask the Japanese about their age, marital status, salary and income. Don't use the words "old" and "old man" to address elderly men and women. The older people are, the more taboo they are. It's best to talk less in public. Taking the subway or bus in Japan, it is rare to see the phenomenon of talking loudly when no one is watching. Don't visit Japanese families unless you make an appointment in advance. According to Japanese custom, drinking is an important etiquette. After the host pours wine for him, the guest should immediately pick up the bottle and pour wine for the host. Only by pouring wine to each other can we show the equality and friendship between the host and the guest. When pouring tea, the Japanese polite habit is to pour it to 80% full to show the most respect to the guests. The Japanese choose some meaningful years to celebrate the birthday of the elderly. For example, 6 1 year-old means "hijri", and 60 years later it means 1 year-old, rejuvenating; 7O years old is "ancient"; 77 years old is "Happy Birthday"; 88 years old is "Mi Shou", and the Chinese character "Mi" can be disassembled to become 88; The 99-year-old is called "hundred years old" because the word "white" has a horizontal line, making it "hundred".
