Descripción
Sumario:Japan has incorporated foreign practices and ideas, adapting them to its context, while contributing to globalisation with cultural and technological innovations. Japan's ethnographic museums and foreign countries theme parks reflect its interest in other cultures by blending education and entertainment. In addition, communities such as the Ainu and Okinawans revitalise and reclaim their cultural identities with their self-representations that they dispaly. Interculturality develops at various levels in Japan and has a long history of contacts, influences, knowledge and adaptations.
