Today we discussed the language of clothes. After listening to the lecture and the meaning of colors in clothing, answer the following questions
1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?

I may judge people according to what they wear.
Because I don't know about the person.
I think that to judge only clothes isn't good, because it is just clothes.
However I always may judge it.
If they wear dirty clothes, maybe I think that I don't like them.
Because, clothes is dirty. It is wrong to judge only clothes.
But，I will judge clothes people acooding to what they wear only first impression.

Yes, I do.
I think that Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country.
In this summer, I saw two people from another country in Hiroshima station.
I thought that they are drity life.
Because, they wore strange clothes.
I can't explain this fashion, but it was so strange and dirty.
Then I judged them only clothes. Maybe they are drity life.
So, Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judgeing other people from another country.

1. Today we discussed the Japanese concept of "wrapping". Do you agree with the web site's description?What do you do that can be called "wrapping"? Give examples and reasons for your actions.

I agree with the web site's description. I think that Japanese people want to wapp anything.
I don't know why they do it. But, I always say that please wapping. It may be typical Japanese culture.

Sometimes I think that why it is wrapp. That's vegetable. I always think that why it is wrapp ,when I go to supermarket. Maybe foreigners think that it is strange.

The thing that I want to wrapp is present. Because it is gift.
I think that gift is special thing. So I want to wrapp thing that I present.


2. Preparation for the next class "Death and Funerals" Answer these questions in your blog

a. Where do you go when you die?

When I was a child my grand father said me that "if you want to go to heaven, you must do good things and manner ."
I don't know where do I go when I die.
However I want to believe that I go to heaven when I die.
And, I want to change into someone else.
Then I start new life.


b. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death



Japanese have death memorial services 49 days, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc.
49days is calles Shijukunichi Hoyo in Japanese. And it is also called Manchu-in in Japanese.
It says that this day's judgement decided death destiny. So this day is very important.
Many Japanese people place someone'S ashes in a tomb.
Then anniversary of the death of 1 is to pass the 1 year from death.
This day invite decedent's family and relatives, decedent's friends and so on.
However after 1 year if we hold 3year, 7year and so on we invite only decedent's family and relatives. I don't know why. But it is general in Japan.
