I want to ask an older Japanese woman for help in something, but I don’t know her really well, and wondered if there was a tradition of offering an older person something upon meeting them, or speaking to them, and if so, what is the offering? For example, when meeting some Native Americans (especially my people) you can offer them tobacco or if I know them then I offer something I know they want or need. I already know about bowing, but wondered if there were also gifts as tradition and etiquette.
