Japanese Culture and Identity in the Modern Era

Japanese Popular Culture

The culture of Japan has evolved over the years and has become quite popular. The culture borrows a lot from Asian, European, and North American cultures. It is more of modern Japan as opposed to traditional Japan. This culture has spread widely across the world, and many elements have been incorporated into the culture. This is evident, especially when it comes to food, clothing, architecture, and entertainment.

The extent of Japanese Culture incorporation in my life

I love their clothing (kimono), especially when I am going for social functions like weddings because they have unique fashions, making one appear unique. I also love Japanese programs, more precisely soap operas. I love Japanese architecture.

The probability of Japanese popular culture losing its identity

I strongly believe that Japanese popular culture might lose its identity due to influence from other cultures, which may lead to a slight modification of the culture. On the other hand, the influence of Japanese popular culture on other cultures will lead to adopting some elements of Japanese culture by other cultures. Therefore, this will mean that the highly held elements in Japanese culture that made them unique will not be unique anymore.
