Inappropriate questions for a newcomer at Japanese company

Hello everyone.

Today I read an article written by an american auther,
the title is "How To Survive At a Japanese Company".
I'd like to quote some sentences from that article here;

"You will be asked many many times how old you are, if you have a significant other,where you're from - and in extreme examples - if you can use chopsticks.
They'll also compliment your Japanese ability even if you have none.
Any foreigner who has lived here for a time knows the questions and protocol of which I speak.
Refuse outright to answer these questions, or better yet, lie your ass off.
It will add greatly to the mystery surrounding you.and drive them freakin' crazy in a good way.
Japanese love comic book fantasy. Fulfill that for them."

Phew, his remark tingles in my ears...
Maybe such questions are very unpleasant,very rude for foreign newcomers.
Unfortunately,many Japanese people can't understand that such question is very rude for new people.
Many Japanese tend to ask such questions, because they want to reveal his identity and share the privacy with everyone.
Many Japanese people are very qurious,they can't understand that such questions are "invasion of privaciy".
Our offensive inquisitiveness is incorrigible, if you are asked such questions in Japanese company,yes,lie your ass off! That is the best way to refuse outright to answer such rude questions.

Thank you for visiting this blog,
Please have a wonderful day.

Autumn sceneries of Asuka Village

Autumn sceneries of Asuka Village.

Cosmos flowers are blooming beautifully,

Cat tile plate

Thank you for visiting my blog,
Recently I started drawing cat picture and making cat tile plate,cat mug cup,etc.
This is bengal cat,I love this coat pattern.
It took me almost 3 weeks to finish this tile plate.
It is very fun to make it!

In this summer,we had many torrential rains throughout Japan,and according to heavy rains,there was a big sediment disaster in Hiroshima,72 people died.
We've been having strange weather the past few years.
Is there any effective way to stop global warming...?

Shouted at female assembly member to "get married" (the Metropolitan Assembly of Japan)

He is apologizing to her,making a deep bow.

They are both Japanese politician.

He apologized her after he shouted sexist remarks during her speech about increased public support for pregnant woman.

He apologized for shouting out "You should get married" while she was speaking.

Besides him,unidentified male assembly members shouted out "Can't you even bear a child?" or

"You are the one who should get married as soon as possible."

Yes,as you know,he became the focus of grobal criticism now.

I have to admit that it is the tip of the iceberg in Japan.

In our country,the tendency of looking down on woman has deep roots.

"Women should marry soon,and bear child." This has long been common sense in Japan.

But recently,as Japan became increasingly grobalized, we gradually noticed that our "common sense" is not always an international common sense.

We have to admit that we are still a long way from a real understanding of human rights,personal dignity,morality,grobal perspective.

And we can't conclude that the education in Japan has nothing to do with such shameful remarks of him.

Maiko and beautiful garden

It is fine weather today,

I could take some nice pics of geiko and maiko,

so I'd like to show you them.

I'm happy if you enjoy them.

Classical Japanese garden was beautiful.

Many cameramen asked her lots of pose,for example,"Look at here!",
so finally fatigue showed on her face.

Thank you for visiting my blog,
next update is the beginning of next month,in my plan.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
