Gokurousama blog

Postby Steve Bildermann » Sun Dec 26, 2004 6:50 am

The Gokurousama blog and the pictures on it are a very good way to understand the Japanese way of gokurousama. It's also the spirit behind good service and a very nice way to show appreciation of good service. A simple gokurosama will go a long way and is much more respectful than flipping someone a hundred yen coin. iMorpheus has also started a Gokurousama flickr group and has linked the group to the blog so that others can post.

Yah... I've always disliked saying "gokurosama" for that reason... I guess that's not very "Japanese" of me though. ;)

Gokurosama should be used when addressing inferiors. Otsukaresama is supposed to be used when addressing equals or superiors.
