Japan as a country has a cultural background that is wide ranging and special. A growing number of people have taken fancy to a culture that has a unique ability to pique a person's interest and pull them in deeper. The Japanese are now known more for their fascinating exports that grew from an age of modernization than anything else.
One of her fastest growing export is Japan's fashion. Asian fashion has always had a special place in the heart of many across the world. But Japanese fashion is one that is constantly evolving and on the edge of the hippest edges.
At the core of Japan's cultural soul is its ever changing face of fashion. Japanese street fashion is at its most popular and it has influenced other Asian and Western styles. Even the decidedly different cosplay style that has its roots in anime has already carved out a deep niche of its own all over the world.
From fashion comes music. The two have always gone hand in hand and never more so than in Japanese culture. J-pop is not only the pride of the country, but often dominates other Asian music charts as well. In the beginning, Western countries frowned upon the overly commercial leanings of the Japanese popular music industry. Now, they have accepted it and are even adopting their best features.
There is an increasing number of foreigners who have also fallen in love with the Japanese language. This is due in part to their need to understand and communicate with the people and their culture. For example, fans of J-pop would like to understand song lyrics as well as to sing the songs that they enjoy so much.
The more artistic cultures have also had their own followings throughout history. Japanese calligraphy and artists have their own distinct flavors. They are not found in similar forms in other Asian countries, which is why fans sometimes prefer them.
There is a side to the Japanese that they have increasingly applied to commercial culture. There is a national obsession with cuteness. Many products that are made in Japan always come designed with that catered in mind. It has proven to be successful so far as millions all over the world have taken to it in droves.
There are so many sides to the Japanese culture and that is why it continues to foster growing interest in it from people across the world. There is no reason for anyone to not spend some time exploring it, and that includes you too. You might be pleasantly surprised once you do that.
