Keywords:
Marriage, Ceremony, Comparative Cultural Studies, Kazakh Culture, Japanese CultureAbstract
Relationship between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Japan started in recent days. Nowadays relation of both nations keeps good condition and people in the Republic of Kazakhstan have good feeling about Japanese. However, between Kazakhstan and Japan, there is little information about traditional culture in each nation. That condition is not good for mutual understanding. In this study, I operated series of interview about trends and ceremonies which related marriage, and I observed several ceremonies which were operated in Kazakhstan. Through that study, I could describe general information about trends and ceremonies related marriage in Kazakhstan and Japan and characteristic for example, people’s idea about registration for their marriage, and style of ceremonies which people operate. However, there are various people, situations, and traditions in Kazakhstan and also in Japan. In order to understand real picture of each culture and encourage mutual understanding, further and extended studies about traditional ceremonies in each nations should be conducted.References
