Greetings (挨 拶)

In Japan, when two people meet or say goodbye, shake hands off with a handshake. called Akushu ( 握手 あ くし ゅ ). No health never kissing on the cheek and Spain.

always give the right hand and never left. It is because most Japanese were (and are) right and once they took up arms with his right hand. Greet shaking right hand meant to show that they had no hostility or enmity. Today, the handshake is widely used in business.

The most common greeting in Japan is Ojigi ( お辞儀 おじぎ) , which is a bow. To Ojigi , you have to give your neck toward your opponent, and this gesture means "I give my neck, because I have no bad intention and hope that neither are you with me. "

There are 3 types of Ojigi . and are used depending on what the situation, for whom and the purpose. It is very important to know these three Ojigi and use at the appropriate times.

1: Eshaku ( 会 釈 え しゃく )
2: Keirei ( 敬礼 けい れい )
3: Sai-Keirei ( 最 敬礼 さ いけい れい )

Eshaku is a slight reverence. It makes an angle of about 15 degrees from the waist. It is used when someone is crossed with another person in a hallway for example, or in an informal occasion. They look in the eye and shake hands with a pleasant smile.

Keirei most common is a reverence in the business scene in particular to salute a superior. It is also used to receive guests. Is inclined 30 degrees from the waist.

Saikeirei is a reverence utmost courtesy. Is rarely used in everyday life. It presents in this way when you ask someone a favor, a major apology or when you close a big business. It is also used to greet the president, or the imperial family. Is inclined 45 degrees from the waist. The technique is Saikeirei count from 1 to 3. "1" starts the inclination, "2" for and "3" turns his head to its upright position.


In Japan, there are many people who do Ojigi on the phone. Some Foreigners are very rarely appears this practice, because when you talk on the phone, the person who you're talking of course does not see you. But do this to show respect and I think is a very healthy habit.
