I am a Sri Lankan and went to a montessori which was funded by Japan and taught ethics like waiting in a queue, waiting patiently till lights turn to green, not litter everywhere and take ur garbage home or only put in a dust bin, etc., which are applicable anywhere in the world… I am grateful for my parents for sending me to that montessori, cz the training I had during that one year last for lifetime…

Are you saying a Montessori school in Sri Lanka was financially supported by the Japanese government or its NPO?

[@cittadino.pensante]

Montessori was an italian educator, remember

[@latinworldexplorer]

You’re very fortunate indeed. Although one can also learn all these things even when already grown up, the fact of the matter is that all it really takes is the desire to do common good in order to learn to not litter, to cross the street only at the crosswalk and never against the pedestrian light, etc. It should be plain old common sense. One should not need to be born and raised in Japan or have attended the school you went to to know these things and do them always. But sadly, reality attests otherwise.

[@carmenl163]

That's not what Montessori education is about. Maria Montessori valued children learning at their own pace with the help of other children. She thought a child/human should know their place in the world and respect everything living in it.

It’s not for individualistic and selfish people, but it’s a nice for like minded people that think of the betterment of the group and society a whole and also what would be the best, but humble way. It looked like everyone (weekdays in Shibuya) is always trying to look their best and though the people I saw were probably office workers, still everyone looked sharp and neat and everyone had an umbrella. I also enjoyed I bakeries their cute and delicious breads and breakfast items in general at a bakery.

Even as time goes by and the surface of a town changes, nothing changes in the underlying foundation of the unique Japanese culture. The common root of the creation of originality in Japanese culture is the uniqueness of its geopolitical location and the influence of its natural environment. Even if they import culture and knowledge from abroad, they are not dominated by it, and after a certain period of time, they select the content, integrate it with their own culture, improve it, and eventually create a new style. Why, then, have they been trying to improve existing things and create new ones? The reason is obvious: the unique natural environment of Japan, an island nation. Japan's ancient adaptive behavior to survive in the harsh natural environment has given birth to a Japanese culture of behavior, in which people always think creatively and without giving up on reality. Japan's original country name "NIPPON”means "the land under (of) the sun" , but another traditional country name is "WA (YAMATO) ” , meaning “Peacefull Harmony”.　So Japan's real name means “the Land of the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Peacefull Harmony (of People and Nature),” The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the JOMON pottery” culture.　(That's 30,000 years ago, if you count the Neolithic period.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate, and because it is a volcanic island, mountains occupy about 80% of its land, it is rich in underground clear water resources through its natural filtration system, and is blessed with diverse vegetation and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying the abundant nature and living in peace with nature. Since ancient times, the people of this land have respected human harmony and have lived in peace by working together as a group. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich to live, it is also harsh to live and has both light and dark sides. They have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by pooling their wisdom and collectively overcoming numerous severe and harsh natural disasters, such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, summer typhoons, and heavy snowfall in winter. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by a single person. Individuals are too weak to face the fury of nature when natural disasters suddenly strike the wealth they have built up and can destroy their cities overnight. That is why Japanese people believed that they should suppress their egos, avoid conflict among humans, cooperate with each other to create a livable environment and maintain public cleanliness, and join forces to prevent disasters before they occur and to restore the environment immediately after they have occurred. They believed that this is the most wise, efficient, and rational way to maintain peace and freedom in each other's lives, this would bring about better results rather than to create more chaos and conflict by insisting on each other's selfishness. because of the environment in which disasters frequently occur that cannot be resolved by individual power alone. And this thinkings have given rise to Japan's unique teachings, culture, and behavior. For example, it is fundamentally connected to the Japanese mindset of "Behaving in a way that does not bother others in public places," "Helping each other if someone is in trouble," and "Not doing bad things even if no one is watching." And one of the teachings of the ancient Shinto religion, "Purify yourself (kiyome) by getting rid of Defilement (kegare)," has been taken over today as a basic manner to "Not pollute even in public places," to “Always keep the environment and yourself clean”, and to make everyone, regardless of status, gender, or age. feel comfortable equally. The warm and humid island climate is not only a paradise for humans and animals, but also a paradise for bacteria and microorganisms to thrive. Without cleanliness in daily life, bacteria can easily multiply and food can spoil. It is clear why the ancient Japanese Shinto religion taught the importance of “maintaining a clean environment on a daily basis. Even before the development of science, they strictly taught cleanliness because they knew that laziness and uncleanliness would lead to plague and other disasters through the growth of invisible bacteria, leading to the death and destruction of a people. This is the ancient wisdom to survive safely in the dangerous natural environment unique to this island nation（the climate in Japan, unlike that of the continent, is humid, and pathogens can easily multiply.) Over the years, the wisdom to survive in this particular land has been formed into a unique Japanese behavior and culture that values cleanliness, flawless work, and diligence, which is different from other countries. Because otherwise they would not have survived for so long in this land. The Japanese people have lived in this land since ancient times, and based on their experience of the coexistence of heaven and hell, they believed that human beings are not the main actors in the natural world, but are only one member of the natural world and one of the objects that are kept alive by the natural environment. Therefore, with an attitude of humility, human beings thought that harmony with the natural world, other living creatures, and nature, as well as cooperative behavior and peaceful harmony among other human beings, were important. After all, They also believed that this was the wisest way of thinking for each individual human being born on this earth to live happily for the rest of his or her life. This particular environment gave birth to the Japanese spirit of harmony“WA”, ingenuity, improvement, and development orientation. The spirit of harmony“WA” in Japan, for example, was also present in the period when the samurai received imperial commands from the emperor and controlled the substantive affairs of state, only the administrative functions were transferred from the emperor to the samurai class (police and military organizations). During the 600 years of the samurai period, not a single incident occurred in which a samurai government destroyed the emperor's family and became king itself. The samurai maintained the emperor system as the emperor's servants despite the military regime.This is the reason why the lineage of the Emperors has continued for about 2,000 years until the present day. When Buddhism, which originated in India, was imported to Japan via China about 1,300 years ago, the Japanese did not start a religious war between Shinto, the traditional religion of Japan, and Buddhism, which was imported from a foreign country. The two religions coexisted and merged into one. This is the reason why there are many Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples throughout Japan today, and why the Japanese take refuge in both. This peaceful harmony with nature and avoidance of conflict between humans is characteristic of the spirit of harmony“WA”, the traditional behavior of Japanese culture. And this environment, both heaven and hell, has traditionally rooted another behavioral trait: ingenuity and pragmatic “improvement and betterment”. It has given birth to a culture that makes the most of the abundance of nature, and instead of despairing and giving up in the face of harsh realities, it has developed a culture of wisdom in how to improve and overcome the situation as much as possible. Rather than using imported technology as-is, the culture of technology took root in Japan's special natural environment, thinking of ways to improve and enhance it for even more effective use, and developing new methods for greater perfection. Technological developments in various fields did not begin in modern times, such as "earthquake-resistant construction techniques" for high-rise buildings created 1,300 years ago, unique "wooden construction techniques" that do not use iron nails but use a combination of wood to hold them firmly in place, "sword smithing" that synthesizes multiple types of iron to form strong steel, and "fermented food processing techniques" to preserve foodstuffs. About 400 years ago, before the importation of Western technology, Edo was built on an undeveloped muddy land after the construction of a large river track, coastal reclamation, and other soil improvements. In addition, a habitable city was constructed by separating "the water supply system" from the distant source of clear water to the center of Edo. This is the foundation of Tokyo's current prosperity. They have a long history of taking on the challenges of nature and solving problems without giving up. Japan's harsh natural environment has taught the Japanese the attitude of not giving up, but rather observing reality and creating ways to improve it. The ancient name of Japan, "YAMATO" "WA" (peaceful harmony between people and nature), represents "the wishes and reality" of the people who have been trying to survive in the rich and at the same time harsh natural environment unique to island countries, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name "YAMATO/WA" that the essence of Japanese culture, the origin and secret of its unique culture, which is very different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent, is hidden.

Then technology became more advanced...The Space Race Era began...creating a feeling of wonder creativity possibility and Hope. And Technology continued to further allow for great order from mindless chaos and imperialism...They decided they wanted nothing with their violent feudal dictated by codes of honor past. They wanted to try a new approach...they wanted a new better more logical way of living. It is a good example how an entire culture can advance in under 90 years or less. In fact faster..

Is it right? NO!!! Evil is real obviously. And don't be fooled that todays Japan is exempt from evil doings too. They know they tried it with Pearl Harbor back then and got their butts handed to them with the atomic bomb. They don't try it now because they obviously learned their lesson and know they are no match for todays United States military. Who knows what the future brings.
