All you Japanamanias, what do you think of Obama’s shot at Japanese bowing etiquette? Is he bowing too high, too low? I think it’s hard for him to bow that low considering his height is way too tall compare to Emperor Akihito. Obama bows to Emperor Akihito upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo over the weekend.

The Imperial Household Agency says the U.S. President enjoyed a lunch with the emperor and Empress Michiko. Obama is currently on his first presidential visit to Asia.
