         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey, my name is Michelle María Del Castillo Toledo, and I'm 26 years old. I'm from Bogotá and I am an only child. I graduated from Siervas de San José School in 2011, and from Sergio Arboleda University in 2016 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. In 2014, I moved to Australia to continue my degree at a university affiliated with Bogotá's Sergio Arboleda. I completed my real estate internship while also working as a waitress in a bar. When I returned to Colombia, I worked as an administrator in the family business and began my degree in Spanish and Foreign Languages at La Salle University. I'm less than a year away from finishing my bachelor's degree, and I am completing a virtual master's degree in project management with a Finnish university. My long-term goals are to return to Australia or Asia (with my dogs) and work as an engineer and, if possible, a teacher. I also want to marry and start a family.<br><br></div><div>Hello, my name is Angélica Tatiana Ramos Sosa, I'm 21 years old and was born in Yopal, Casanare, on 18 December 2000. Sports and watching series, as well as taking naps, are some of my life's great pleasures.&nbsp;<br>I enjoy playing basketball and have done so since I was a child, specifically since I was ten years old. I also like riding bicycles, although I only began to do so when I was 19 years old, so it is a relatively new hobby for me. Likewise, I enjoy practising sports because I feel free while I'm running or playing on the court as if I'm taking a breather from my routine. I enjoy watching comedy shows since they provide the ideal excuse to laugh and engage in various activities. I'm now pursuing a degree in foreign languages, with an emphasis on English. This degree allows me to strengthen my English as a foreign language as well as my teaching methods.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This topic is connected to the two members of the group, as both have had close contact with persons of Japanese nationality. In the case of the member Michelle, most of her closest friends are Japanese, they are very close, they have lived together, they have come to Colombia and nowadays, they speak almost every day. On the other hand, the former romantic partner of the member Tatiana has dual nationality, both Japanese and Colombian, lived until 17 years in Japan, but he also knows how to speak Spanish. During the time they were together, she learnt much from their culture, including the current theme of this project. Therefore, this project will study intercultural non-verbal communication, from experience, also through guided interviews and research previously carried out by other authors.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jones (2012), stated that Japanese has a distinct non-verbal corporal language. They do not kiss, shake hands, or even touch when greeting one another. Slight flexion of the torso, accompanied by the head, with the hands together at chest height, constitutes a greeting. Ojigi is a type of non-verbal communication, which is the foundation of Japanese politeness and can sometimes replace verbal communication. (Amri, 2019)<br>Bowing is a simple concept that basically shows that you are lowering yourself and putting yourself in a vulnerable position, regardless of your social status. Bowing proves to the other person that you value their presence and are grateful for the opportunity to interact with them.<br>Women bow with their hands and arms in front, while men bow with their hands and arms at their sides. There's a lot that goes into bowing, but knowing the intricacies will help individuals show a lot of respect.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>According to Hattori (1987) When compared to other cultures, particularly Western cultures, Japanese people make a lot less eye contact. Making repeated eye contact is considered aggressive in Japanese culture, and it can also be intimidating. This occurs not only with strangers, but also with family and friends.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>The subject of this project is non-verbal communication and all that covers this field, in the Japanese population. This is a phenomenon that can be studied from intercultural communication, despite being such a small country, it has a high population density of 125,824,999 people (United Nations, 2022) and its non-verbal cultural customs are different from those of the whole world, and for the Latin American population could be even more different and difficult to understand. In Japan, verbal communication is much less important than non-verbal communication, and the spoken word can have multiple meanings. As a result, non-verbal cues are crucial, whether they are communicated consciously or unconsciously. The Japanese rely heavily on facial expressions, posture, hand movements, and voice tones.</em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>According to Andersen, P. (2012), gestures, facial expressions, eye contact and gaze, body position and movement, touch, clothing, silence, the use of space and time, objects and artefacts, and paralanguage are all examples of non-verbal behaviour in intercultural communication. Non-verbal behaviours, which are inextricably linked to verbal behaviours, frequently convey the same or more meaning than spoken words. Culture, like language, has a direct impact on the use of non-verbal behaviour and the meanings assigned to it. Non-verbal behaviours that are inappropriate or misunderstood in intercultural communication can easily create misunderstandings and, in some cases, insults.</em></strong><br> <br><strong><em>Like language, non-verbal facial and body expressions form a coding system for constructing and expressing meaning, and these expressions are culturally specific. People learn which non-verbal behaviours are appropriate for various social interactions through culture. However, what is acceptable and polite in one culture may be impolite or even insulting in another.</em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>According to Soltys (2018) the degree to which a person bows is related to the level of respect he or she is displaying. In informal gatherings, such as among friends and family, a simple 5 degree bow is commonly used.<br>There are 3 common ojigi for business situations. These include<strong><em> eshaku (会釈), keirei (敬礼) and saikeirei (最敬礼).<br>- </em></strong>The most laid-back ojigi is <strong>Eshaku:</strong><strong><em><br></em></strong>This is the most commonly used ojigi, just like a salute. It can be used on almost anyone individuals come across, along with a bright smile, to show their respect for them.<br>- The next level of bow is <strong>keirei</strong>, which is about 30 degrees. This bow is frequently used in professional settings, such as greeting potential business partners or customers, or to show respect to someone of higher status.<br>- The most formal of these three bows is the <strong>Saikeirei</strong>, which is used with a more serious tone. This bow can be used to show respect for someone of high status, such as the emperor, or to express regret or guilt.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Temples do not have a dress code. However, for males, smart casual wear with collared shirts (may be polo or golf shirts) and trousers is preferred. Women should wear a modest top and pants or a longish skirt. Nice socks are also a must for when people have to remove their shoes in temples and restaurants.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Haragei (腹芸)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Literally means "the art of the womb" and refers to a Japanese custom of leaving an important part of communication to insinuations. Silence and euphemisms or vague statements are vitally important in Japanese communication. From them are communicated feelings and thoughts that, otherwise, loudly, could not be transmitted. The haragei is the art of using the belly, our interior, to interpret the insinuations of the other interlocutor, all without using speech. It’s the art of non-verbal communication.</div><div>The key to haragei is, therefore, to insinuate, rather than to state clearly, and thus avoid offending the other interlocutor. Thus, silence can therefore be synonymous with honesty (since the womb does not deceive), social discretion, shame, or resistance, since expressing one’s wishes openly is considered naive, rude, or ill-mannered, and can sometimes put both partners in an embarrassing situation.<br>It refers, in one simple sense, to a visceral communication among the Japanese that defies Western logic. According to the author, Japanese society, in Western people’s eyes, is a cohesive, close-knit society. By that, it means that if you can’t feel haragei or if you can’t understand their unspoken language and act appropriately, it proves you’re gaijin (non-Japanese).</div>]]></description>

Numerous scholars have posited that the Japanese value and rely on intuitive, indirect, non-verbal communication as their primary method of communication and consider verbal means as a secondary, often unreliable, mode.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

In contrast, the students consider that Colombians have in their culture more traits of affectivity and extroversion such as courtesy, affection, joy, friendship, passion, noise, gossip, and kindness.<br><br>On the other hand, intercultural communication is not a new phenomenon. Exchange and confrontation between societies of different cultures have been occurring throughout human history.<br><br>Finally, Japanese culture has very particular features in terms of communication and etiquette.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>To begin with, interculturality appears in an obligatory way when two or more groups with diverse cultures meet. This interaction might be cordial or hostile, but it is vital to get to know the other participants in order to comprehend them. Thus, understand some cultural aspects or foundations that at first might seem negative or that simply collide with one's own culture. It is in this type of difficult scenario that a dialogue is required to achieve understanding and peaceful coexistence and where ethnocentrism, prejudice, and discrimination have no place.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We must bear in mind that different communication models are used in different cultures, and although we are aware of linguistic diversity, we tend to believe that our communication model is universal, and this can lead to misunderstandings. Throughout the analysis, the conclusion is reached of the importance of non-verbal language for a good understanding, since by not being aware of certain aspects and customs, other individuals can be underestimated, and this can cause them not to want to cooperate in the situation or in the conversation, which adds even more obstacles to a better understanding.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This meeting between the two leaders, the one who was president of the USA and the Japanese president, represents the flexibility and adaptation that must be chosen in intercultural changes, in this case. It is common for Japanese leaders belonging to a high stratum to greet and are often greeted with a slight bow, that is, they require a wide range of bows (ojigi). Because people often use this with strangers, relatives, friends, bosses, and leaders like presidents. In this case, the Japanese president chose to give in to his custom, because in this way he relates the trust that should exist between them "Mutual trust will help us move forward, while misgivings will make us go back"</div>]]></description>
