Title

The Perception Of The Beneficiary For Japanese Bowing In Different Situations At The Reception

Keywords

Japanese bowing; Japanese hospitality; Ojigi

Abstract

We inspected the effect on the recipient of Japanese bowing (ojigi) in proper keirei style and in one’s own style. First, we performed eleven variations of bowing and examined the impression of each bowing. The results were that keirei made the best impression on the recipient. Second, we set up two situations regarding five variations of bowing; absence of any people except the parties (extra 0), and presence of two people (extra 2). Then we examined whether the evaluation for these bowings changed or not depending on the two situations. As for keirei, extra 0 showed a significantly-high score. In “bowing deeply” and “bowing unsteadily,” extra 2 showed a significantly-high score. Keirei made the best impression in situations where there were no outside factors. On the other hand, “bowing deeply” could achieve almost the same impression as that of keirei, despite its being in one’s own style, in situations such as extra 2.
