JAPAN FACT: In the Edo period, in Japan, it was common that women who wanted to show their loyalty to a man, cut off the tip of the little finger. This act of loyalty was called Yub-ikiri (指切り). Some time later, the use of Yubikiri spread throughout Japan with the meaning of ‘promise’.

JAPAN FACT: It’s not customary in Japan shake hands or hug to greet. In fact, the Japanese practice the ojigi (お辞儀), is the slope of the body in front of the other party, the man holding her arms down the legs, the woman in front of her. The grade, the number and duration of the inclination vary according to the circumstances, the age of your partner and your position in the hierarchy. The oijigi is also used to thank, apologize or say goodbye when you separate.
