The Japanese family differs from families of other countries in commitment to ancient traditions. We can understand some of them hardly, we do not accept some in general. And something wants to be adopted.

Patriarchy in family
In modern Japanese family the patriarchal foundations and traditions are not so strong, but still remain. Men are always a head of the family, and women are engaged in a household and education of children. The role of the man and woman is accurately distributed:
- The wife submits to the husband
- The daughter – to the father
- If mother became a widow/widower, then to the son
With special respect and awe younger concern seniors. Women to men, and sponsor those and protect them. The wife always tries to please the husband. All holidays are celebrated in the bosom of the family. The family for Japanese is something sacred.
The head of the family can quietly spend time in various massage parlors, brothels. Japanese are brought up so that the husband's adventures on the party do not consider treason. Even if the drunk husband is brought home by geishas or dancers, the wife bows to them, thanking for what was returned home, and treating them.
Children in the Japanese family
Nothing is forbidden to children up to 5-6 years, on them do not raise the voice and do not punish. Education of children is based on an example of behavior of parents in family. Mother always is near the child, talking to him and explaining everything. Therefore children in Japan begin to speak earlier, than to go. The woman who is engaged in career, but not the child, is condemned by society. Children to 12, sometimes up to 16 years sleep with the parents. The father with the children of both sexes can take a bath even if daughters 20 years. For the Japanese family it is normal. Girls since the childhood are taught obedience and respect for the man, prepare to be the ideal wife and mother.
The senior generation in the Japanese family
In Japan there lived under the same roof several generations for a long time, the most senior man was a head, and all submitted to him. In the modern country of the grandmother and grandfather live separately in the house, the apartment or in nursing home. And, if in family all work and there is nobody to look after old men, take away there in their morning, and take away home in the evening. In nursing home care and supervision for pensioners is taken. Old men will be entertained and fed, and still they have an opportunity to communicate to the peers. Here such "kindergarten" for elderly.
What they, Japanese?
Japanese have certain national lines:
- Diligence
- Honesty
- Cleanliness
- Politeness
They are very hardworking people, to work for 16-18 hours - for them it is norm. To be late for work or to leave it is considered bad form earlier. Almost all life the Japanese works for one firm. The people are very honest if you lose the purse or some thing which found surely will carry in lost and found. Politeness and cleanliness - national lines of Japanese. If you got into accident, then responsible for incident will apologize and bow several minutes, only then will call the ambulance. The main thing to apologize, the victim will wait.
Purity for Japanese is a cult, they consider that not only the body and the environment, but also thoughts have to be clean. Wash under a shower, then take a bath daily. Here denial is not accepted, it is considered that it and breaks structure of the world. The Japanese will never say no to you, can answer "I will think" or it is "possible".
