  • Know your Japanese!

    Japanese bowing carries different meanings at different angles.

    - A bow at an angle of five degrees means "Good day"

    - A bow at an angle of fifteen degrees is also a common
    salutation, a bit more formal it means "Good morning"

    - A bow at an angle of thirty degrees is a respectful bow to
    indicate appreciation for a kind gesture.

    - A bow at a forty-five-degree angle is used to convey deep
    respect or an apology.

    And a bow at a ninety-degree angle with a slight wiggle means
    you are welcoming another baboon.
