“In the 18th century, influential literary
scholar Motoori Norinaga coined the
phrase mono no aware, which has
been translated as “sensitivity to
things” as well as “awareness of the
transient beauty of nature”. In this
expression, Norinaga captured the
essence of Japanese attentiveness to
the present moment.”

“No city in Japan is like European
cities. In Europe, cities reflect the
contrast with nature; nature and the
city are two opposite concepts. In
Japan, cities are like villages that have
grown naturally from the ‘power of
nature’. In Europe, cities have a
particular structure, what we call an
‘urban’ structure. In Japan we don’t
have such a structure.”

“The reservation of a picnic spot for
hanami works on a first-come-
first-served basis. It is a common
practice to reserve a picnic spot in
advance by spreading a picnic sheet.
Sometimes the spot where only a
sheet is left spread may not be taken
as reserved. In that case, someone
needs to be on the spot till the party
starts. And reserving a larger space
than you need is not a good manner.
Some people may stay alone for long
hours so that the group has a space
when they arrive.”

“Japanese Government involves itself
in regulating spheres of life that are
thought none of its business in other
countries. Over-regulation and the
need to dismantle it has become a
dominant media theme in Japan ever
since the bursting of the economic
bubble sent the nation into prolonged
recession at the start of the 1990s.
Second, Japan is a country of relative
-
ly small government in terms of
personnel and taxation: as of 1995,
only 6 percent of the workforce was in
the public sector […]. In the area of
law and its enforcement, the implica
-
tion of these two elements is that
there are many laws and regulations
and relatively few prosecutors, judges
and police to enforce them. […] In the
realm of law, this implies a degree of
voluntary compliance on the part of
the public; selective enforcement
when such compliance is not forth
-
coming; and hence a double standard
between the written and enforced law.
Some things are illegal but tolerated;
others are legal but socially stigma
-
tised.”
