To Make Good Use of Ogasawara's Etiquette
The School of Ogasawara has a long history of 800 years. During those years, Ogasawara's ways has rooted in our modern lives in many different forms. But when we think of "etiquette" or "courtesy" we tend to imagine a very uptight atmosphere.

Essentially, Japanese etiquette developed from the question, "how could one express his/her thoughtful consideration or heart of hospitality." A "form" of basic movement were developed as a way to express one's consideration. In long history and experiences of the Japanese, they have built up these "forms" after some improvements were made to fit each era's circumstances. It has developed into a rationalized movement omitting all futility.
