There are a few Western cultures that have not really taken a root in Japan. One of them is volunteering. In Japanese mind, people are programmed to act based on the principle that our actions are for others not for ourselves.Therefore, when we are asked if we want to volunteer, hesitation comes first instead of taking action. For the same reason, the concept of Philanthropist is not understood very well as it is considered to be something that the only rich should do. However, there are a few famous figures who have kept taking actions to give to others for many years. Mr. Sugi Ryotaro is a very good example. He started as a popular actor. He is a former Special Ambassador to Japan and Vietnam at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Special Crime Prevention Officer at the National Police Agency. His volunteer work ranges from cultural exchange to disaster relief. One of the things he has been doing for many years is supporting education in Vietnam. Let’s see if learning from his actions may unbox Japan.

Oftentimes, we Japanese females are willing to work in the background even with expecting no credit. That may be a beautiful virtue but in the real world, those behaviors are taken as too naive. Today, we introduce a young lady who opened up a Japanese confectionery store in LA. Her products are vegan, gluten-free, and non-additive Japanese delicacies. Her journey as forenign born Japanese, was to cut off the image of stereotype. “Have the courage to be hated. Alyssa Miki, who is active on the global stage, has the secret of ‘throwing away’” 01/09/2021 Forbes Japan https://forbesjapan.com/articles/detail/39074/2/1/1 #Japan #JapanUnboxed #nihongo #にほんご #Tokyo #learnJapanese #studyJapanese #kanji #madeinjapan #olympic #anime

Believe or not, not all Japanese people are neat and tidying up all the time. There are social phenomena going on in Japan called ゴミ屋敷, meaning house full of garbages. These tends are reported to be a result of working long hours where owners are living alone and have lost motivation to clean. Sadly, some of them are found dead among garbage. There are companies and workers who specialize cleaning those houses. Let’s find out why they do what they do. “Former comedians who became garbage house cleaners: Cleanup is not a effort go waste” https://president.jp/articles/-/41763 President Online 12/25/2020 Translated and quoted by JapanUnboxed #Podcastoftheday #Garbage #Japan #JapanUnboxed #Nihongo #日本語勉強　 #Japan #JapanUnboxed #nihongo #にほんご #Tokyo #learnJapanese #studyJapanese #kanji #madeinjapan #olympic #anime

When I heard the news about HondaJet for first time in 2015, I was not sure what to think. Honda is one of two top Japanese car manufacturers in US but it has been losing its sparks in the market. My initial thought was if Honda is going to let the Jet business lead its 72 year old company. I found its success was possible due to nothing fancy but rather ordinary in Japanese culture. Step by step approach with a long-term perspective and vision. Going over footsteps of the others and learning from their failure also played a big role for President and CEO Mr. Fujino Michimasa. In his interview with Nikkei Business, Mr. Fujino stayed calm and gave us hints how the success cannot be rushed.
