Class #1 Fall 2009

These day, Japanese tend to do wrapping almost all of things. For example, cookies, sugar, house, cloths and etc. Why are Japanese wrapping almost all of things? Is it important? I don't think so. But they were liked beautiful things by wrapping. And they think it is important like “tatemae”. I think It doesn't need. Because Eco is more important than “tatemae”. Real intention is more important.Than I hope to stop wrapping too many by people. But sometimes I had opposite idea. Because Japan is very humid. And we should protected food by wrapping. If we use wrapping means“tatemae”, I don't want to use. But if we use wrapping functional, it is ok.Sometimes is importnt“tatemae”. But if you care too much“tatemae”, and you become uncomfortable or hard.
This home stay video is the problem “tatemae” home stay family important “tatemae”. And they didn't say anythings. Then, home stay student doesn't important “tatemae”.It make home stay family hard. Nobody is bad. Simply, they had to say real intention.

*where do you go when you die?
I don't think that when we die, we go to heaven or hell. I think when we die, our soul separete our body and become clear. And we go to special place. Special place give us(only soul) some trials to revive different body and life. That's why I don't believe to exist heaven and hell.

*Why do japanese have death memorial service 1months, 1year, 3year, 7year, etc. after a person death?
I think we remember and pray(A person death rest in peace completely. A person death don't become ghost) a person death by this survice.

"Eco is more important than 'tatemae'. Real intention is more important."

Good point - even though wrapping is sometimes very beautiful, too much of it might be bad for the environment.

And I agree, as we saw in the video in class maybe tatemae can cause problems when we can't feel free to reveal our true intentions. But I also value tatemae in a certain way, because sometimes when you say exactly what you feel to a person, they get offended... Maybe when you talk to someone (like people from America) who are usually very frank, it's better to let down the tatemae a little bit? That's what I think most of the time.

I don't think we go to heavenor hell, either. Moreover, I'm not sure if the soul really exsists. Your idea about soul is interesting for me.

Hello.
Your opinion is interesting.
However, if it's really so, we never have rest after we die.

Hi,pink.
I agree this explain.We surely think "tatemae"is very important.
But I think also it is peculiar to the Japanese..So it's important to devide this thought.

Hi!! Thank you for your comment.
Sometimes we need to wrapping. But wrapping not always need.I want to really assert that eco is more important than 'tatemae'. Real intention is more important.
