meeting etiquette
0 1 bow
The traditional greeting etiquette in Japan is to bow, but shaking hands with foreign countries is also very popular. Sometimes you bow after shaking hands. Bowing 90 degrees is the most respectful way to express special thanks or apologies; When we meet for the first time, 45-degree bow is more common. After bowing, we need to exchange business cards. A 30-degree bow is generally used to greet familiar people, such as meeting colleagues in the morning. Jugongli pays attention to identity, and the younger generation, subordinates and women must first salute their elders, superiors and men, who must reciprocate with the same etiquette.
When a man bows, his body stands upright, his upper body leans forward, his hands stick to the trousers line or his palms hang inward in front of him, his fingers reach his knees, and his head bends down with his neck. Women lean forward, bow their heads, cross their hands in front of their abdomen, and usually cover their left hands with their right hands. JuGongLi is polite, with nothing in his hand, no hat on his head, and no hands in his pockets.
02 title
When foreigners address Japanese, it is best to use "sir", "miss" and "madam". Don't directly address Japanese you are not familiar with, because in Japan, names can only be addressed between family members and very close friends. On formal occasions, you can address the Japanese by their full names. In Japan, the word "Mr." is often used to address teachers, doctors, elders, bosses or people who have made special contributions, which will make him embarrassed to be called "Mr."
03 exchange business cards
The time to change business cards is immediately after the two sides meet. So try to put the business card holder in a convenient place in advance. When exchanging, it is a modest expression, which is slightly lower than the height of the other party's business card. When exchanging business cards, you should stand up, bend slightly, hold the business cards with your hands and fingers and hand them to each other. The content of the card should also face each other. When you receive someone else's card, you must take it seriously and put it in your wallet. Don't just put it in the back pocket of your clothes.
