How to tell if you're Japanese by Hirofumi Nagamura One in a growing series of counterparts to my How to Tell If You're American page. Hirofumi is a freelance translator who lives in Kobe, Japan. He also teaches English at a juku or study academy... a favorite after-school activity in Japan is more school. He picked up his English in the U.S., where he lived for several years of his childhood. He's also interested in programming, linguistics, and classical music. M.R. Pronunciation guide : The consonants should be pronounced as they would be in English. The vowels are (roughly) a as in "car", e as in "bell", i as in "sit", o as in "or", and u as in "put". A circumflex accent (^) over a vowel indicates that it is pronounced twice as long as normal vowels. Syllables are always of the form [consonant +] vowel [+ "n"] . No consonant clusters, no diphthongs or triphthongs. Very simple. If you're Japanese... You're familiar with Tamori, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, Sazaesan Doraemon Pokemon , the latest NHK morning drama series, Ueki Hitoshi, , Shimura Ken, Tetsuwan Atom You know how baseball and wrestling are played.

6. Plurality The Plurality of japanese culture. Despite the smallness of Japan s territory, the culture of the archipelago was for long highly plural in nature. http://www.isei.or.jp/books/75/Plurality.html

The Plurality of Japanese Culture Geographical Conditions Let us take a look first at those special geographical features of the Japanese archipelago that would seem to relate to the special features of Japanese culture and society. First of all, there is the great difference of latitude between north and the south. To take only the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, the islands range from N 45 degrees 33 minutes at their northern extremity to latitude N 23 degrees at their southern extremity, covering a distance of 2,000 kilometers, which increases to 4,500 kilometers if one takes in all the islands from those still farther to the north to the remotest of the Okinawan group in the southwest. Where climate is concerned, the waters of the Okhotsk Sea coast in the very north are visited every winter by drifting ice carried in from the north, while Okinawa in the far south has abundant tropical fish in its coral reefs and similarly abundant plant life, also of a tropical nature. Whereas the cherry blossom in Okinawa begins to bloom in January, in Hokkaido it is delayed until May. Again, areas on the Japan Sea side are swept in winter by moist seasonal winds from the northwest, and since they are backed by mountains, there is heavy snowfall, which even on the plains reaches a depth of one meter in many places, while in the mountainous areas it occasionally reaches two meters. As a result, getting rid of the snow and other similar measures constitute a serious problem in these areas and a major financial burden on local governing bodies. The handcraft goods produced in the home during winter have traditionally formed one of the bases of local industry. On the Pacific coast, on the other hand, snowfalls are far lighter, and the dry seasonal winds experienced in some areas such as the Kantô region, including Tokyo, make fires a major hazard, especially in the cities.

8. Edo Japan, A Virtual Tour Take a tour through Tokyo during the period of the Tokugawa shoguns, and learn about the history of Japan's greatest city. Illustrated by ukiyoe images, the text discusses the traditions that underlie japanese culture. http://www.us-japan.org/edomatsu/

Welcome to Edo Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. During the reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned in secluded majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto; however, the true center of power, government, the economy and social life was Edo , where the Shogun lived and ruled the country. For most people in Japan, Edo is more than just a historical city. It also has a symbolic image and meaning. It represents nearly everything that they consider a part of their "traditional" culture. For the Japanese, Edo has a romantic image that one could compare to the Italian's image of Renaissance Venice, the British image of Victorian London and the American image of the Wild West, all rolled into one. This website is designed to take you exploring in Edo . Hopefully it will offer not only some enjoyment, but also some insights into the source of "traditional Japan". Although modern Tokyo may look very "Western" on the surface, in its heart the spirit of Edo still lives on! This site is continuously growing and expanding, with the addition of new pages on various parts of the city. Bookmark this page and visit often. New towns, new sounds and graphics, and new information on historical Edo will be added on a regular basis. Special thanks to The Japan-America Society for co-hosting this website.

But every numbers has more than two pronunciations. Japanese Month Names The Japanese usually refer to the months by numbers, though each month has its own particular name. Japanese letters The Japanese use Chinese letters in their alphabet, since they discovered that it was a more convenient way to express their traditional words, as well as European ones. Using this foreign, Chinese invention and arranging it to serve themselves is just one of the peculiarities of Japanese culture.

Japanese Edition Japanese culture Watanabegumi: the Pavement If this page is shown single Click Here for easier navigation Translation of our motto Japanese Letters Japanese did not have letters until chinese introduced their letters in second or third century. After then we japanese are using chinese letters. Of course ancient japanese used these letters for learning chinese progressed culture. As you know, chinese letters are basically ideograms that were originally pitograph and every single letter has its own meaning. For example, the letter for turtle is . This letter is simplified one as compared to original one but still the shape of turtle is obvious. I do not know how many chinese letters are there, probably more than hundred thousands. Roughly saying, average japanese can read letters of 5,000 or more but can write down 2,000 or less. At elementary school and junior high school, 1,800 of letters are taught. Chinese letters are used of course in China and in Japan and also in Korea. Chinese use chinese letters only. In Japan, as we are doing nowadays too, the chinese invented letters were arranged otherwise to form a group of letters expressing sounds. Therefore, japanese have ideograms and phonograms. The phonogram letters were contrived in eigth century. Before that time, ancient people used a group of chinese letters as phonograms very hard to read. The way of making phonograms was to deform the chinese letters that has similar sound with japanese basic sounds. Here is a example of making "a" sound letter".
