This is going to sound silly, but the origami. I know it originally started in China but Japan is what everyone associates with. When I was in the first grade, each class chose a country to study and ours was Japan. Our teacher (whose parents were from Japan), taught us how to origami. I still know how to do some of the simple animals and boxes (though I am awful at everything else).

I also vaguely remember her bringing some Japanese candy for us to try. I don't remember what is tasted like but I do remember you could eat the paper (I think it melted in your mouth).

And we read the book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, which is still one of the most beautiful and heart breaking stories I have read.

I also love anime. Particularly Cowboy Bebop (the best anime), Hayao Miyazaki (who doesn't love Studio Ghibli?), and Dragon Ball Z (yes, it is awful but it was my gateway anime). For my Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were the shows that brought my dad, siblings, and I together every Saturday morning (so I have to thank Japan for that).
