japan

Two of the biggest economies in the world, Japan and the U.S., have remarkably different forms of communication. Some differences are obvious like language and currency, and some are not as obvious like nonverbal communication. Japan and the U.S. are two very different cultures when it comes to nonverbal communication. Some of these differences are kinesics, dress and eye contact.Dress is another place where cultural differences can be seen in forms of nonverbal communication between the U.S. and Japan. For an American traveling to Japan it is important to know the vast differences in accepted dress, especially for a business environment. While the U.S. has very relaxed dress codes in most aspects of life, the Japanese have a much more controlled dress code.
