numbers\n\nTo the Japanese, thirteen is not an unlucky number. An expression like ”Friday, the 13th,” conveys no meaning to the average Japanese. But there is a superstition about the use of the cardinal number ”four” or rather its Japanese equivalent, ”shi.” This is because the Japanese word for ”four” is a homonym of the word ”death.” Japanese hospitals have no No. 4 ward. For the same reason, visiting a family on the fourth of the month to congratulate them on the birth of a child is sedulously avoided."},{"section":2,"text":"Sets of things\n\nIn the West, things are usually counted by the dozen; a set of things belonging together, like a tea set, contains one dozen or half a dozen pieces. In Japan, things come in sets of five or sets of ten, for example, teacups for five persons or trays for ten persons.\n\n3 Even and Odd Numbers\n\nGifts are customarily presented in odd numbers, when there are less than ten. In fact, old-fashioned\n\npeople carefully avoid making gifts of even numbers because of some old superstitious belief. But ten being the Japanese dozen, there is no objection to such figures as ten, twenty, thirty, forty, etc. Some articles such as pencils and bottles of beer, however, are often sold and bought by the dozen even in Japan."},{"section":3,"text":"Writing letters\n\nLetters are usually written vertically beginning at the right-hand top corner. The body of a letter comes first, then the complimentary closing, the name of the sender, the date, and the name of the addressee. The envelope is superscribed, also in vertical columns, with the address and name of the addressee. On the back, to the left of the lower part, is written the address and the name of the sender of the letter with the date written just above. A formal Japanese letter is written on a roll of white Japanese paper (about 8 inches wide) with Chinese ink and brush. When a letter is written this way, it is folded or rather rolled up from the left-hand end, and then put in the envelope.\n\nNaturally enough, a Japanese envelope is oblong, usually 8.2 by 3.5 inches, with the flap at one end. Envelopes of white Japanese paper of fine quality are generally used for formal letter writing.\n\nFor everyday correspondence, however, a Western-style writing pad is used instead of a roll of paper. Both Western-style and Japanese-style envelopes are used for this purpose. Pen and ink are used instead of Chinese ink and brush. Postcards are used in the West, but it is not considered good form to use postcards for polite correspondence."},{"section":4,"text":"5 Counting Change\n\nSuppose you buy 600 yen worth of articles at a store and pay for it with a thousand yen note.
