  4. 1. Bathing Methods Americans tend to bath alone rather than in groups.

  5. 2. Pleasures and Entertainment Americans seem to have deep interests in entertainment and pleasures. They often tend to dance around and shout loudly in their drunken state, and show interest for Japanese prostitutes.

  6. 3. Respect Towards the Dead Americans have great respect towards the dead, and take special care for their funerals. By showing great respect, it shows that they might not be the "southern barbarians" or "foreign devils". 

  7. 4. Sumo Wrestling Americans seem to be surprised and envious of great Japanese Sumo wrestlers; they must not have such manly sports in the U.S.

  8. 5. African Americans Americans seem to be quite proud of their black slaves, yet Japanese people do not see any reason for thinking so.

  9. 6. Sensitive Character Many Americans showed deep interest in artistic and cultural matters; maybe they are not the barbarians we think them to be.

  10. 7. Forks and Knives Rather than using chopsticks for eating utensils, Americans used forksandknives. 

  11. 8. Experience: Food Americans seemed to show interests in Japanese production of goods, yet are very ignorant and unskilled.

  12. 9. Spiritual Music Hogaku Spiritual music was created by slaves in America. This type of music only uses vocal voices, and it was religious, which was designed to give people faith.

  13. 10. Etiquette Bowing in the American culture wasn't considered as important as it was in the Japanese culture. However, when they greeted one another, they bowed to each other without speaking.
