This paper explores nonverbal communication in Japanese and Uzbek cultures, with a focus on gestures as a key element of interaction. The study discusses gestures, proxemics, facial expressions, and eye contact, emphasizing cultural differences that create translation lacunas. Literary references from Japanese and Uzbek sources are analyzed to demonstrate how silence and other nonverbal codes are interpreted differently.
