THEME: JAPANESE SUPERSTITIONS.

Japanese culture is ancient and is filled with rites and traditions to honor the family. Because Japan is an island country, it was able to moderate the influence of other cultures for centuries. This allowed a distinct culture and heritage to develop for the beautiful Land of the Rising Sun. Japanese culture is ancient and is filled with rites and traditions to honor the family.

Yep. But first, you bow, offer some small change, bow deeply twice, ring the bell (tells the gods you’re there), then you clap twice, pray, and thank the gods in your mind, bow deeply once more, and leave. Shrine etiquette is a fact of life in Japanese culture! This is definitely one of those interesting facts about Japanese Culture we learned while in Japan. Yep.

Praying At Shrines
Involves Clapping
That might seem like a crazy fact about Japanese culture, but it’s true. In the 19th century, the Meiji emperor himself broke the taboo and ate meat, popularising a Japan increasingly open to Western ideals. Before then, Buddhist laws passed in the 7th century prohibited eating meat (birds and fish were okay, though). That might seem like a crazy fact about Japanese culture, but it’s true.

Japan Was Basically Vegetarian For 1,400 Years
Everyone knows that Japan is big into its games. It’s the home of Nintendo, Sega, and PlayStation. Some of the first games to enter the Western world’s psyche were from Japan – Mario, Zelda, and most famously of all, Pokemon. Playing phones on smartphones is big news, and it’s not uncommon to see people tapping away at the latest game on their phone. Everyone knows that Japan is big into its games.

And A Lot Of People Play Videogames Too
The pronunciation of 4 in Japanese is “shi” (四), which sounds the same as death (死), therefore it is regularly omitted on several occasions. It is possible to see buildings not displaying the 4th floor or parking lots without a number 4 car space. Consequently, number 9 shares a similar reason as one of its possible pronunciations in Japanese is “ku” (九), which is the same as pain, suffering or anguish (苦).
4 AND 9 UNLUCKY MEMBERS.
It is believed that cutting ones fingernails at night brings death closer. The reason for this lays once again in a pronunciation game where “yotsume” (夜爪, literally “night nails”) is pronounced the same as “reaching the end of ones life” (世詰め).

Cutting ones nails at night
Seeing a spider in the morning is seen as a good omen. This is because from ancient times, the Japanese have believed the spider to be a connector between this world and the world beyond, bringing well being. This may have been associated due to the fact that spiders appear to make their webs when the is good weather. Seeing a spider in the morning is seen as a good omen.

Bad spiders at night In contrast with the morning spiders, seeing a spider at night is said to be of bad luck and a sign of attracting thieves into ones house. This appears to be because night spiders cast their web in the darkness in order to catch their pray. To prevent attracting burglars, it is believed to be fine to kill the spider before such event takes place.
Good spiders in the morning
