Business manners I have some business meetings in Japan and I was wondering what I should know. Is there anything special I should know? |

kamiza If you have a guess to your office you should let them sit on the side of the table which is farthest from the door (in other words the side of the table that is deepest inside the room). This is supposed to be the safest part of the room and you should never take it yourself. Japanese people can take this very seriously. However, if you are a foreigner ... just in Japan for a few days people will be very understanding. |

kamiza II Our yeah ... obviously under kamiza your company sits on one side of the room and your guess on the other. It is not common to sit in a random distribution which sometimes happens in the US. |

Business attire Japanese tend to dress much more formally. I think this is well known. In almost every situation you should wear a suit and tie. You will also notice that there is a lot of black here. You may feel more comfortable in a black suit. |

There are other rules about where to sit. Sometimes the top guy sits closest to the head of the table closest to the door. If you are a guess they will show you wear to sit. If they don't you can sit in the kamiza position. |
