Nonverbal Communication in Japan silence facial expression touching gestures showing respect to objects

SHOWING RESPECT TO OBJECTS Business cards are not folded, written on, or fiddled with. A guest's coat is not thrown over a chair but instead hung up carefully. At a traditional Japanese restaurant or home, the guest's shoes are placed together and turned around so that the guest can easily put his or her shoes back on when leaving. Furniture is used properly; you do not lean on a desk or sit on a table.

GESTURES Here are some signs of communication between the Japanese. "Me“- pointing to one's nose or touching the nose. "Listening“ - nodding one's head up and down. This should not be mistaken with a "yes" gesture. It means that one is listening, not necessarily agreeing. "Negative“ - to nod "no" with the hand or fan. "Money" - similar to what is sometimes used in the West to mean "OK".

TOUCHING In the beginning, it is best to refrain from forms of physical contact such as a pat on the back or a hug. The Japanese do not show signs of affection or emotions in public. Young couples may be seen holding hands, but it is embarrassing to see spouses kiss in public.

Facial Expression It is considered rude to express your emotions in public. The "Poker Face" is used to cover up negative emotions. The Smile can often be an expression that conceals embarrassment, pain, or anguish. Eye contact is often a Western signal for confidence or sincerity. In many cases, the Japanese consider direct and constant eye contact a rude gesture The Japanese may look down to show respect to another.
