Japanese culture is distinct and, until recently, isolated from outside influences. Today, however, we see an impact on their culture by external forces, such as Western design and culture. However, you will also notice a number of traditions in Japanese culture that have grown out of ancient habits. Their Zen-like tea ritual is meant to purify the mind of the anxieties of daily life. Japanese painting, calligraphy and sculpture as well as the country’s performing arts are also diverse and typical of the country. In this video, WatchMojo.com studies the unique culture of Japan

Introduction
This self-developed computer aided instruction (CAI) project is an attempt to improve elementary Japanese learning via the use of computer programs. It was originally developed as an intranet version for our Cantonese-speaking students in the JAS computer room. We now provide the Internet version of the aid for public use. It is a trimmed-down version of the intranet program with fewer sound and visual effects. This allows for greater speed over the Internet. This Japanese learning aid consists of 48 lessons which correspond to the lessons in the Japanese textbooks (Nihongo 1 and 2) published by the Japanese Studies Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.Virtual Museum Canada: Exploring Japan
