Do you agree with hte web site's description? what do you do that can be called 'wrapping'? Give examples and reasons for your actions.
yes, I agree with some parts in the web site. when Japanese people say something to someone, we wrap some word by something kind of sugar-coating. I think 'wrapping' has 2 reasons Japanese are done. One of the reasons is Japanese people are important to be community, so they avoid arguing with someone. The another is Japanese people like to keep secrets or hide ourselves?? it is difficult to explain, but make sense??
However, I don't agree with Kimono is not 'wapping' !! This is one of our traditional costume, so this comment is rude. I feel it makes a fool of us.
2.Preparation for the next class "Death and Funerals"
a. where do you go when you die?
I don't know. BUT I THINK, ...
when I die my soul goes to heaven or hell or somewhere. when I die, I think that only a soul remains in somewhere. then, a soul can be back in the real world only after a person's death like 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years....
b. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?
I explained the above, we hold memorial services and greet the dead because we don't forget the dead.

I know how you feel!! Also I disagree with that we are 'wapping' ourselves with Kimono. I was kind of embarrassed beause everyone laughted at that..
thank you for making comments!
why are you embarrassed that wearing Kimono? It is difficlut to wear Kimono by oneself, but I think it is interested how Japanese invent Kimono, isn't it??
I think there is more to the diffent kinds of houji and they have a deep, special meaning. You should find out more from your family or friends. I do not think it is just to remember. Good job.
