Why are people making a big deal about this bowing thing. It is a way of saying hello and its a respect thing. Americans are making a big deal about this. Us americans are not gods, we are all equal in this world so quit your bitching.

Akihito has been nothing but a generous person. He spends weeks visiting the victims of the tsunami, and the victims of the Fukishima disaster. The Japanese people have nothing but respect for him. I wish the same could be said about Obama.

You're an idiot. Calling someone "uncultured" while endearing your own American stupidity where a simple bow becomes imagined--in your mind-- as "kissing the feet of other men", is quite the hilarious irony. Re-read and re-vise back over this atrocious post of yours. So much FAIL here, it's making my eyes hurt.

You're an idiot. Bowing is a sign of respect in other countries.

Apologies that his bow was wrong. The Emperor still should have returned the bow at an equal depth; clearly the Emperor's ceremonial reign doesn't give him higher status than a US president. I originally found it irritating that Obama had broken the tradition of American presidents refusing to bow to anyone, but perhaps it was time to put it to rest. We live in a multicultural world and could all benefit from more civility in world politics.

Because even in Japan this bow was wrong. If you met the Emperor as a citizen, you wouldn't shake his hand. You wouldn't use his name. He would essentially be a descendent of the Kami, literally a demigod. Obama bowed too low, 45 degrees is the proper depth, and should have stuck to a proper handshake as he is representing his own culture to someone of semi-equal international status. You are uncultured and enjoy kissing the feet of other men, now go learn a little about the world(笑).
