Ojigi.

Ojigi : courbette japonaise…Un élément incontournable des rites shinto (Ici cérémonie au sanctuaire Heian), mais également de la vie sociale nipponne.

Quelques codes de l’Ojigi:

Eshaku : Inclinaison à 15°, pour les salutations entre pairs.
Keirei : inclinaison à 30°, marque de respect pour les interlocuteurs de rang supérieur.
Saikeirei : inclinaison à 45°, salutation d'une personne très importante, ou demande d'excuse pour un acte relativement grave.



Ojigi: Japanese bow… An essential element of the Shinto rites (Here image taken during a ceremony at the Heian Shrine), but also of the whole Japanese social life.

Some Ojigi codes :

Eshaku : bowing to 15°, for peer’s greeting.
Keirei : bowing to 30°, a sign of respect for senior contacts.
Saikeirei : bowing to 45°, greeting from a very important person, or claiming for an excuse for a relatively serious act.
