One Foot in Both Cultures: Japan and Canada
-
Description
-
This portrait features a look into the life of a Japanese stay at home mom and her family as they have adapted and continue to adapt to life in London, Ontario over the past year. Topics including traditions, for example New Years customs and food celebrations of Japanese culture within Canada, to favourite characteristics of both countries and cultures (Nature, food and atmosphere) are discussed. As an individual that has migrated from Japan to Canada and may not necessarily decide to stay in Canada as a citizen, but rather is here for the life experience and taking it day by day, Mrs. Sato has a unique perspective on Canadian way of life. It is important to inform ourselves of the many ways that individuals live their lives and experience our homes (in the national sense). To have access to these sort of individual perspectives allows us a better understanding of different cultures and interpretations, so as to better respect others and avoid cultural misunderstandings.
