Some notes on Japanese culture

Interrupting. In Japan it is normal to wait until people have completely finished speaking before you start your turn. This can leave Japanese at a disadvantage when speaking to people from countries where it is normal to speak over each other.

Gift giving. In Japan it is traditional to take a gift away and open it when you get home, but a young person or foreigner doing this might be met with surprise.

Japanese teachers and drinking. One factor relevant to Japan is the fact that Japanese teachers usually avoid drinking even water in class and certainly try not to drink straight out of the plastic bottle.

Eye contact. Asian students often close their eyes to concentrate during listenings etc.

てくる・または・てきている ・ んじゃねえ  grammar

いちいち花なんか 買ってくるんじゃねえ

いちいち has a negative connotation. Though it means “one by one.” It is only used to describe negative actions being done “one by one.” It describes something annoying/trivial/unnecessary is done all the time.　

なんか  noun + なんか is used when you belittle something, someone or express your strong emotion, emphasize what comes before in a negative way

んじゃねえ  (のではない formal)

When you describe some situation in an explanatory tone / make your point/ emphasize the fact or your opinion.

When you give someone an order or suggestion.

When you talk about probability. Probably…/When you express your opinion, I think…/ When you make your point (affirmative sentences)

When you question something.(could be translates to question tags)

いつもどおり as usual, all the time

買ってくる to buy and bring. Yuuji’s granddad is referring to something that is happening all the time; it’s not a past action or something that has already happened.

～てくる

It can be very confusing and often gets lost in translation (I’ll use ～てくる as a generic term, but the rules provided don’t define  てくる (as opposed to てきた )). To get a better understanding of it, we need to be able to distinguish between an actual physical movement and an abstract concept.

Movement:

In this case, the verbs are typically written in  漢字, but this is not always the case. It’s important to notice/analyze your surroundings to determine what an additional nuance ～てくる conveys.

It indicates that whoever performs the action marked by ～て, ends up at the speaker’s location. Yuuji (the doer) bought the flowers and went to his granddad (speaker’s location). (I’ve always thought that the doer and the speaker must be the same person.)

 ワインを買ってきてください  My friend is the doer of the action (buying and bringing wine). Since I’m the speaker, she’s going to end up at my location. A motion/action that is coming the speaker’s way. Someone is running towards you or bringing flowers (towards) you. 買ってきた = bought something and you brought it home/where you are.

Author Sakai Kikuko wearing a vibrant meisen haori depicting shishi lions and temari balls.

Meisen is an ikat style fabric which was super fashionable in the 1920′s/30′s and faded after 1950. Though often brightly patterned and produced via a time consumming process (threads were dyed before weaving), meisen items were sturdy everyday clothes. A tell-tell of meisen is the blurry effect pattern it gives:

Here is a little documentary about how meisen fabrics are still made in Isekaki:
