Answer:High-context cultures

Explanation:High-context cultures refers to a culture which relies mostly on implicit and heavily on context communication , they don't use much words to express themselves. It is an opposite of a low-context cultures which depends mostly on explicit verbal communication , they use more words to pass the message to others like American culture.

High-context cultures believes and values interpersonal relationships such as most of the eastern culture , where all the generation live under the same house. Japanese is in the East , which means they belong to those cultures that values implicit communication.
