It's hard to say because demographics in Japanese population is shifting and values are diversifying, with more people having different values and perceptions, ranging from those seeking personal self-fulfillment away from the corporate world and from old social conventions to those adhering to traditional values and everyone else falling in between.The British have a that typical sense of humor
The French have a savoir-vivre
The Germans are perfectionists
The Chinese are world's businessmen
The Americans do everything bigger and better
And so on...
But what is typical Japanese?
Although the Japanese don't bow as often as many foreigners think we do, it seems the Japanese rank high in terms of general politeness!I also thought about the polite way of bowing for each other. I guess that is something typical Japanese? But maybe are there other peoples bowing for each other?
That too, though...gentle, caring and shy

And the Japanese make everything smaller and cuter?The Americans do everything bigger and better

Who knows? But that is not typical Japanese I guess.
Americans talk loudly. They dont talk but semi shout. They like to talk loud. Japanese dont talk as loud. Norwegians only talk loud if they have been drinking. Japanese too unless both are angry. Americans are more nationalistic. They think they are better, bigger. Because in their education system they are brought up as in spoon fed thinking US is the best country in the world where as Jpaanese dont think that highly of their country until someone criticizes them where as Americans/Canadians go around thinking they come from the best country in the world even before you criticize them.
They will start ranting on about multi culturarism when they have 50% of the native people caged and locked up telling Jpaan to be more open.
