My Belief to Japanese

My belief about Japanese society, people or culture is the Japanese value the ability to do things quietly.

They may see those people tendency to fidget and shift as an indication of lack of mental or spiritual balance.

Why I have such belief?
I’m joining a Japanese Society in my university.

Our society are going to have a Japan Fest next week (5/1/2009 – 9/1/2009).

The objective of this event is to promote Japanese culture.

We invite Japanese people come to our university to demonstrate some of the Japanese culture such as Ikebana (flower arrangement), Chado (Japanese tea ceremony), Origami (paper folding) and so forth.

I’m the one who in charge in dealing with them.

From the previous conversation, I realized Japanese people are very polite and at the same time they required us to prepare a tranquil room for them, no people are clamorous around or walking around.

All the decoration is as simple as we can.

For example, the tablecloth, the sensei required us to use white color instead of others colorful tablecloth.

It let me have a picture like everything is as concise as we can and make it clean and simple oriented.

It seems very sublime and dignified if walk in such quiet, clean and simple condition.

Everything has to go by quietly.

It makes people to respect the event or the sensei unconsciously.
Of course, my belief to this not only starts from now or from this event.

When I was watching TV program, I saw Japanese people when making chado, they make it quietly as well.

Everything is systematic, slowly and quietly.

I found that my belief not only for Ikebana or Chado, but do apply at Japanese martial art, Kendo.

They value people to sit quietly as a combination of soul and heart.
So, friends…
How do you think…
Do you agree with me..
Have you observed this before…
