1. Absorb and transform new ideas while keeping older traditions vital.

Explanation:

The evolution from ancient Yayoi culture of Japan to the modern one has been influenced by the regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. Though there is a genetic difference between the people of Japan and China, still Japanese language uses Chinese characters. Secondly, During Meiji Restoration Japan adopted the technological advancement of western countries. The religion of Japan includes Buddhism which again was influenced by its connection in Asia. But with all these assimilation it has retained its culture.
