Abstract
<span lang="EN">Communication involves both verbal and non-verbal forms of expression, such as gestures. However, misunderstandings can arise when people from different cultures communicate. This study examines the use of gestures by the Japanese and Balinese, exploring their similarities and differences. The research involves descriptive-qualitative analysis, gathering data through observation, interviews, and note-taking. The findings indicate that both cultures have a similar understanding of gestures due to their emphasis on social etiquette. Additionally, both cultures incorporate taboos, honorifics, and status elements in their gestures. However, the Balinese body language is influenced by the cultural concept of Rwa Bineda, while the Japanese body language is more influenced by inyo.</span>
