Japan is Approaching Through five Themes

To talk about Japan, it isn’t easy because Japan has many information.
So I would like to define them in five categories

A: Language – Words of Japan

The heart of Japan dwells in words.
Feel the depth and beauty of the Japanese language through expressions that blend into daily life and the meanings contained in kanji.

e.g., Which is the correct expression, こんにちは(Konnitiha) or こんにちわ(Konnnitiwa)?

B: Culture & Customs – Life in Harmony

A custom that connects hearts throughout the seasons.
I would like to introduce you to annual events, etiquette, and Japanese customs that live on in your daily life, along with my own experiences.

e.g. When using chopsticks, do not pierce them, do not get lost on the food, and do not pass food between chopsticks

C: Food & Drink – Flavors of the Homeland

Food is culture. Go on a journey to enjoy Japan.
I deliver “food” that is rooted in Japanese life, from sushi or ramen to home-cooked dishes.

e.g., What are the three reasons to add wasabi to sushi?

D: Places & Travel – Footsteps Through Japan

Famous places, atmosphere, and scenery of the heart.
From tourist spots to quiet townscapes, I will write about the scenery I felt while walking through Japan’s “present” and “old” times.

e.g., Was the capital of Japan in a different place, not Tokyo?

E: Pop Culture & Trivia – Echoes of Modern Japan

Words that touch the heart, feelings that live in anime.
I’ll introduce anime quotes that moved me, characters special to Japanese people, and some interesting Japanese trivia.

e.g., Are Izanagi and Izanami, used by Itachi in the manga Naruto, from Japanese mythology?

What I Would like you to Understand, and my Request

First of all, the purpose of this blog is to improve your English level.
Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could point out any errors in English notation.

Second, the notation in this blog is based on my knowledge and common beliefs.
I would appreciate it if you could think of it in that way.

Finally, it would be helpful if you could leave a comment with what you want to know or what you would like me to tell you. Please keep in mind that some content may be difficult to understand, write, or summarize in English.
Therefore, I may not be able to write them as articles.

P.S.

Thank you for reading my blog.
My English level is low. And this is my first time writing a blog.
I will work hard on my blog and English study, so please support me!

I need to think about the content of my blog posts, but above all, it is difficult to express myself in English, so I am planning to write one post every two or three days.

またね(Matane)!
