People of Japan

             99% of the population of Japan is surely Japanese. The rest of the population is Ins (about 20%). Japanese is the official language of Japan. People mostly live in towns and urban districts. They are busy in heavy industry (about 30% of the whole population). Japan is the leading industrial country. Steel production, electronics, electrical engineering can be found in this country.

           However, as mineral resources are limited, the Japanese industry strongly depends on import. Shipbuilding is highly developed in Japan. The native people are involved in art craft business, so you can buy lots of souvenirs and things made by them. For example, the art of bonsai, that is the tree in a pot, is, of course, a Japanese tradition. With prudent approach you can grow bonsai for a week and take home this wonderful gift of Japan.

           People in Japan are different in their behavior. It depends on some factors: age, status, occupation, background, and so on. The older generation is more formal, but very polite and friendly. Young people are more informal. Anyway, Japanese respect any person they meet, have a lot of good friends abroad and they are very surprised if their letters remain unanswered.
