Show interest in their country, and it will be reciprocated with genuine warmth and friendship.

For thousands of years, the Chinese believed that they had created a perfect social system based on Confucian values and tempered by the Mandate of Heaven. Dynasties came and went, but the essence of being Chinese remained essentially unchanged until the 20th century. Since then, change has taken place in Chinese society at an unprecedented speed: the country experienced the turmoil of civil war and revolution and then emerged on to the world stage as a global superpower.

The Japanese people have always seen themselves as a nation uniquely apart. Their exquisite art forms and elegant culture, military prowess and technological precision, have long been the envy of friend and foe alike.

Japan will broaden your perception and understanding of this complex, rich, and dynamic society.

No one can predict how Japan will rise to the challenge, or what effect the changes will have on how people live, think, and behave.
