Japan is a fascinating and not always understandable country for Europeans. Its geographical location, the peculiarities of its state policy and the ancient traditions of its people have led to some isolation from other countries.
Because of this, the culture of Japan and Japanese aesthetics have distinct features that distinguish them from what can be seen in other countries.
The traditions of Japanese literature were formed in the depths of centuries. Such poetic genres as hokku, tanka, haiku were given to the world by Japan. Old Japanese engravings still amaze connoisseurs and lovers of fine art with their expressiveness and completeness. The culture of everyday life, the integral components of which are the respect of elders by younger ones and a specific attitude towards women, the search for beauty and harmony in all spheres of life did not come to modern Japanese society from the outside, but are a continuation of traditions that originated in the depths of centuries.
