  1. 정세라 The roots of Japan is not even Korea. DNA compositions are very different: in Japan 40% are D2 while there is no D2 in Korea. Japanese are no descendant of Baekje. There are more than 10,000 archeological remains of more than 10,000 years in Japan, and the oldest one is 120,000 years ago. In Korea, there are only about 50 before 10,000 years ago, and all disappears until 5,000 years ago. And then gradually, Japanese Jomon ruins start appearing at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, meaning it was the Japanese who settled the peninsula. This agrees with Chinese documents such as the Book of Later Han which says the southern part of the Korean Peninsula was a part of Japan. It is Koreans that keep on fabricating history. Your first book is only written in 12 century, but even then nobody read it as there are awkward things written like the King of Shilla was a Japanese who came from Japan. The part of the problem is that no present day Korean can read their own true history as all of their history is written in Chinese characters. Korea is not a mother country of Japan. Never. Also, there is no war crime against Korea as there was no war between Japan and Korea. It was a signed deal that your King, government, and the public wanted and asked Japan. You only changed your minds AFTER the War.

  3. Plasticnightmare // Chase It is not the nicest or not. That is all he knows in Japan. He is not trying to be extra polite or nice, but he is just as usual as when he would be in a similar situation in Japan. Having said that, we could both learn from each other what would be good.

  7. That Jews came to ancient Japan is an old theory first proposed by a Scottish merchant, Norman MacLeod who came to Japan at the end of Edo era. He was shocked to see the similarities of two cultures and wrote a book. Since then there were many researchers that studied this and now believe that Ten Lost Tribes did actually came to Japan, both in Israel and Japan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhlkuGwEecY If you liked it, there are following videos 2 and 3 on YouTube.

  10. Depending on the sharpness of the knife, the sliced sashimi taste differently. There are microscopic examinations. With sharp enough knives, the cell walls of fish are DIVIDED without rupturing rather than cutting through the cells. This gives nicer tastes and make the fish last longer.

  11. Some old Japanese people prefer squat toilets because they cannot stand the idea of their asses touching a seat that was touched by another ass a couple minutes ago. Believe it or not, it comes from their hygienic ideas.

  12. Two very common mistakes that are never mentioned in don'ts but the Japanese feel disgust when witnessing. 1. At purification troughs in shrines, NEVER pour dirty water you washed your hands with back into the troughs. This is such a common mistakes made by foreigners. 2. When you taste food samples in shops with a toothpick, NEVER use the same toothpick you have just used for a new sample. Every time toothpick goes to your mouth, it should be thrown away. These are such a common mistakes made by visiting foreigners.
