Japanese Tradition, Culture & Customs Book

This book is a great guidebook for beginners of Shinto for all ages, including grown-ups.

A bilingual children’s book, “日本の伝統文化と習慣 Japanese Tradition, Culture & Customs” introduces Japanese traditional wisdom. Why is Japan still full of nature, even though it is a very high-tech, evolved country? When you watched the news report of Fukushima and saw Japanese people calmly lining up for food right after the great earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, you may have a question: “How can Japanese people be calm and not start riots?” You can find the answer in this book. Through this book, children are encouraged to develop respect and appreciation for nature, objects, and other people, as well as learn greetings and manners. This book can be enjoyed by guardians and children together. Let's pass along eco-conscious Japanese traditions, culture, and customs to the next generation.
