Japanese Culture & Custom Study MeetingNEW

Do you know the Meaning of “Itadakimasu”?  Or the origin of the word, “Matsuri”? How & Why do Japanese Respect Nature?  

In Japanese culture, people say “Itadakimasu” before meals what does this mean? Let's study together how ancient Japanese people viewed nature. Japanese paid respect to nature and lived in co-exist with it.  That way of life is formed from Shinto. Why do Japanese visit shrines on New Year’s Day, and practice other life rituals? These questions, and many others can be answered with a knowledge of Shinto. Simply put, we can say Shinto is the foundation of Japanese culture. Together, let’s study about Japanese customs and their roots in the past. And let’s not forget also to pay respects to our precious planet at this study meeting.
