So, you're going to Japan? Know your manners!
Whether it is a short trip or a long visit, you have to know exactly the language of the body, the main tool in the arsenal of any Japanese person - the bow. Take notes and practice. Yes, you, Olympic goers and sports fans. I am talking to you. You have almost 3 years to perfect these moves.
If you need any advice on how to better practice, learn and internalize these moves, please leave a message below. I have 7 years of experience and am a certified bow instructor in Japan. I will make sure your acquisition of the forms has the same success rate as a fugu dish that does not kill its consumer.
Dude, nice post. I never knew how complex the bowing system was is japan. Looking forward to more content from you.
Thank you. May my ancestors smile upon you!
Ha, at first I was wondering is it really this strict.. it might be, or close to this, but the video was really good closing towards the end :)
In my line of work, I get to do all of them regularly. Except the last one.I have never screwed up that much! The ninja bow is my favorite. I do it every day when I leave earlier than the rest of the co-workers around midnight in appreciation of their hard work.
Well you need to seriously work on your screwing ups so you can find your way to use the last bow too.
Ninja bow was cool. Even though ninja bow sounds like a weapon, it's still fine.
I shall follow your advice immediately.
Great post! I'd love to visit Japan some day. Several friends of mine have lived there for years... I don't know if I'd be able to pick up the language very quickly, though. I guess the vowels are similar to my Spanish, so maybe that would help?
Oh yeah, it shouldn't be much of an issue if you already have experience with language learning. Just don't do the bows. This video is a joke. =)
Nice lol
Thanks for teaching me something today ;)
