Cultural Exchange

Thank you for taking the time to answer this questionnaire. I am interested in learning about your personal views and experiences regarding cultural exchange, particularly in the context of Japan and the broader topic of cultural appreciation and appropriation.

As someone who appreciates Japanese culture, your perspective is valuable in understanding how different individuals approach the adoption or appreciation of traditions from other cultures. The following questions will explore these topics in a respectful and open-minded way and recognise that everyone perspectives and experiences may vary.
