Edo Manner

     In Edo period, "Edokko Edo people" had good manners about consider the feelings of others.  This is called "Edo Sigusa manner".

     ・Katahiki and Kasakashige: "Katahiki"is when we pass each other, we should pull in our shoulder and make way.  "Kasakashige" is same meaning.  when we pass each other at rain, we should tilt the umbrella.

     ・A lesson of Sandatsu: You should not ask others about their ages, occupations, and statuses.  If you ask these, you look at they prejudicially.  This lesson teaches us do not look at others through your own colored lenses.

     ・In Edo period, busyness stand for 'lost one's feelings', so Edo people does not say 'I am busy' or 'Are you busy?'.

     ・Ukatsu ayamari: When one's foot was stepped on, not only apologizes to say nothing of the person who stepped but also the person who was stepped. Should say "I'm sorry too."

     ・Sentou relationship: Sentou a public bath is the best way to comunicate.  And We can study about the public manner too.
