Phraseology, as part of the language picture of the world, reflects the national mentality of a native speaker. In the Japanese and Uzbek languages, many phraseological units are not translated verbatim, but are perceived reinterpreted and enhance the aesthetic aspect of the language. Phraseological units of any language, being related to the geographical conditions of the country, historical development, state system and religion, are not always clear.  National and cultural characteristics have a great influence on the formation of the language.    Phraseological units are one of the most interesting manifestations of the national-deterministic specificity of the people's mentality. The analysis of the phraseological composition of modern Japanese and Uzbek languages from the point of view of linguo culture allowed us to identify a large layer of phraseology with a national-cultural component in its semantics, which confirms the position that phraseology, along with vocabulary, is the focus of background knowledge.
