Cultural note from the author

Japan is well known for its gift-giving culture. People place great importance on presentation, so beautifully wrapped gifts are a common part of everyday life. This attention to detail, along with the widespread use of vending machines across the country, can result in considerable packaging waste.

Some people view this as harmful to the environment. Does this mean that Japanese people produce a lot of waste and do not care about it?

In this book, you will explore how people in Japan carefully follow strict recycling rules while maintaining their unique cultural practices.
