Japan's Culture

Japanese culture is rich and diverse, dating back to 10,000BC when the Jomon people first settled in Japan.  It is widely known for its traditional arts as well as its contemporary pop culture.  Today in Japan it is still possible to see kimono-clad women shuffling down the street with umbrellas overhead, or oversized sumo wrestlers battling it out the ring.  A sophisticated cuisine, unique social customs, and refined performing and visual arts also contribute to a culture which has become attractive, and sometimes fashionable to many foreigners. For more information click here :)
