How To Bow (properly)

Bowing in Japan looks simple. But it’s not.

In this video, we explore the “proper” way to bow in Japan — from polite greetings to apology angles when you seriously messed up.

We cover:

• The three basic types of Japanese bows
• How angle changes meaning
• Why bowing too deeply is actually dangerous
• How long a bow should last (and when you’ve gone too far)
• The final, forbidden form of apology

This is part etiquette guide, part cultural explanation, and part fiction.
