Of the gazillions of stories that exist, I feel very strongly about the #Japanese ideal of the Hyakki Yagyo "The Night Parade of 100 Demons"exemplifying the Spirit World. Essentially, spirits of all shapes and sizes✔️ Having fun/ partying together ✔️ Devoid of human ethical concerns ✔️ (because they're divine of course) Using magical powers ✔️ & changing shape✔️ (watch Pom Poko)

While learning the #Japanese syllabary, I realized that it sounds a lot like the #Spanish syllabary. The Japanese vowels (あ,い,う,え, and お) sound like their Spanish counterparts (a, i, u, e, and o). Even the Japanese "r" sounds almost like the Spanish "r" (not the rolled r, e.g. "rr").

Did my self-introduction at faculty meeting today. I think I sounded like a kindergardener who'd just been unceremoniously dragged off the playground, but I got a big applause and then 日本語上手'ed vigorously afterward. Normally I feel a little awkward when people say that to me, but this time it just felt supportive. I really need to focus more on speaking, but I always feel like I'm wasting everyone's time! #japanese

Inn of Evil 1971 ‘いのちぼうにふろう’

The story takes place in feudal #Japan, when any commerce with the rest of the world was strictly prohibited. An idealist suddenly appears in an isolated inn (the one that the title refers to), the head-quarters of a group of smugglers, with stolen money intended to ransom his loved one who is forced to work in a brothel. #Japanese #Cinema #Japanfilm #Movie #Asia #Movie

I forget who on here recommended Wanikani for learning kanji, but I'm 5 months in now, doing lessons every day, on level 18 of 60. I quit Duolingo, which was pretty useless for Japanese because I didn't understand why kanji were pronounced so many different ways. (Their Chinese program is decent! I wish there was more of it, but it actually does teach useful things.) WK is not useful for everyone, but for me, it's nice as someone who wants to be able to read. #wanikani #japanese

I never done egi-ing (Japanese English, I guess 🤔), but it must be fun 🤩

And today's English translation of a Japanese sentence that's close to the Japanese but still valid English is:
「蛾(ガ)」とは、鱗翅目の昆虫のうち、チョウ類を除いたものの総称。
'Moth' is among the insects of type Lepidoptera, a generic term excluding things classified as butterflies.
I really want to definite article to The Moth but, I'm not sure a definition sentence technically needs. Anyone knows let me know.

The thing that surprised me the most, was the almost complete lack of women — let alone women with any significant dialogue — in the series. While I didn't do a formal tally, I estimate that more than 90% (perhaps even more than 95%) of the actors were male. And did any of the astonishingly few female actors even have a lead?
I sincerely hope that women play more prominent roles in today's #Japan. 🇯🇵

For me, both versions remain equally(!) plausible for the time being. The #AIP is yet another strong case in point, apart from semantics (have worked in #marcom, would've called in "the extraction team" for this major blunder.)
As long as there are no new pieces of information, I use a #Japanese strategy: compartmentalize.
I do agree that the focus should be on the rather indisputable issues.
We do not need a consensus at this time.
Scenarios are good enough, IMHO.

I've found photos from one Japanese blog, with no replies from the blog owner. I've also gotten information back from YKK Global, but it was relatively generic ("standard parts... office use")...
I appreciate any info on this, thanks!

Yesterday I participated in the first round of the national amateur #Japanese #sake tasting competition in #Nakano (the one in #Nagano ). It was my first experience at this.
There were twenty competitors and we tasted 7 different sakes twice and had to match them. I was the only non-Japanese.
Surprisingly, I got a perfect score and won first place.
Next round I need to go to #NaganoPrefecture championships. The winner there goes to the nationals.


I'm noticing a certain fascination with destruction in the #Japanese language…
And with the exception of one or two, most of them are apocalyptic: extermination, total destruction, collapse, annihilation… 😅

@schoppenaas #Japanese Market today organized by the Sieboldhuis, so a visit to the Japanese garden in the hortus was a must!
日本語の勉強 update. Got myself a few mangas in #Japanese. I can hardly read Dimension W since it doesn’t have furigana and uses quite complicated (if common) vocabulary. Demon Slayer (鬼滅の刃) on the other hand is much easier to read after a couple of months of studying grammar and vocabulary. I feel like I can understand most of what is being said, and furigana helps lookup anything that I don't currently know. I wonder in how many months it will become effortless to read it?

Today in Labor History May 26, 1895: American photojournalist Dorothea Lange was born. She is best-known for her empathetic photographs of people during the Great Depression. However, she is also one of the first to document the suffering of Japanese Americans who were imprisoned during World War II.

Hi, I'm a professional violinist who plays soundtracks :sylveon_squish:
Ok, #Introduction over. I'm a musician, not a wordsmith :growlithe_derp:
... ... ...
I'm being gently informed by my responsible half that I'm to write a *proper* intro, as she puts it...
... ... ...
<wall-o'-text>
Hi Fedi/Mastodon, I'm Octavia, a 30ish Japanese and USian violinist (and composer) whose mother introduced her to the violin at age 5 and Super Mario Brothers at age 3. This would go on to have profound consequences, chief amongst which was that the majority of the activities I enjoy involve fingertip dexterity. The secondary effect was that I would go on to use the classical training I received throughout my childhood to, for the most part, play soundtracks while letting my classical repertoire languish :blobhaj_peek:
Nintendo classics like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, and Smash, JRPG classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy (IX and X specifically), movie soundtracks including a bunch of Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki Hayao works, Disney, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribbean, and Master & Commander (which is just my excuse to play the Bach Cello Suite no. 1: Prelude :leafeon_giggle: ), and a few anime pieces here and there (along with at least one My Little Pony theme :blobhaj_jam: ) are the bulk of what I play when I perform solo. I do play classical pieces here and there, but they mostly tend to be various movements from the Bach Cello Suites, along with a smattering of Celtic music, though I try to mix everything together in my sets, leaving people guessing as to what's a soundtrack and what's not :blobhaj_peek:
I perform at various conventions in the Pacific Northwest of the US (formerly in Brook and Link cosplays), whether inside or outside, and also perform as part of Troupe Seven Stars at faires in the area over the summer months while filling the rest of my time playing solo or ensemble shows, mostly near Portland. About half of Saturdays are spent performing at Fleur de Lis Bakery & Cafe in the Hollywood district.
I tend to spend my free time dissociating in the shower, overcoming whatever ADHD lobs my way, and running out the door like an alternate-universe fusion of Bilbo Baggins and the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland (though, to my astonishment, I've only been late to 2 gigs in my life that I remember). What crumbs of time are spared from those tend to be spent on gaming, reading manga/watching anime, listening to and sharing music (yes, mostly soundtracks), and enjoying what the internet has to offer.
Aside from needing to hop instances, I've found my time on the Fedi to be enjoyable, and I hope to keep meeting interesting, genuine people and sharing time and conversations together :espeon_love: </wall-o'-text>

New on the #CrossAsia blog: A guest post by our former #scholarship holder
Freya Terryn about her research on the #Japanese artist Utagawa #Hiroshige and an illustrated #woodblock-printed book (Hyakunin isshu jokunshō). You can find the blog post here: http://sbb.berlin/am0h34
President of #Ukraine visited the #Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and laid flowers at the memorial to the victims of the atomic bombing
The memorial is made in the form of a stone arch in the style of ancient #Japanese haniwa clay figures. It contains a symbolic tombstone and a list of all the people who died as a result of the atomic explosion on August 6, 1945. The words "Rest in peace! We will not repeat this mistake!" are inscribed on the memorial.

Hi #Blind #Japanese speaking community! I recently purchased the Orbit Reader 20, and it should be arriving by tomorrow. If I'm writing in Japanese, how can I tell if I'm selecting the right Kanji? Do the candidates show up in braille in an easy to understand fashion? Also, if there are any communities for blind Japanese speakers, I'd be happy to learn about those. #A11y #Accessibility #Braille #BrailleDisplays #NVDA #NVDAJP #Languages #LanguageLearning #JapaneseLearning
Canada, too. Families separated and those unwilling sent to POW camps in Ontario.
“After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1942, the government passed an Order in Council authorizing the removal of “enemy aliens” within a 100-mile radius of the BC coast. On March 4, 1942 22,000 Japanese Canadians were given 24 hours to pack …”

Unnamed woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi from the book “Tsuki hyakushi” (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon). The book depicts various aspects of the moon, drawing upon Japanese and Chinese anecdotes, historical events, and mythology. The final book printing was in 1892, the year Tsuki printed this and the year he died.

Today (3 May) is Constitution Day in Japan. On 3 November 1946, the Constitution of Japan was promulgated, and it came into effect on 3 May 1947.
It's interesting to think that both of my parents (born in 1947) are almost exactly the same age as this constitution.
I am a very open and proud supporter of Article 9. Peace to the world!

Can anyone read #Japanese well enough to tell me the directions here? I assume the hot directions are 3 teaspoons (14g) per 120ml of hot water. I'm less sure about the cold directions? 3 tsp (14g) per 20ml of cold water and ice? Seems weird. Also, tsp, or tbsp?

Great news!
The rakugo-inspired installation art that Fiona Amundsen and I created will be exhibited in Finland!
It's based on my actual and imaginary conversation with my late grandpa, who was a survivor of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. Humour... and tears.
The work was originally created for Things That Shape Us exhibition at Christchurch Art Gallery.

Today (20 April) is the anniversary of the modern postal system in Japan.
On 20 April 1871, Japan adapted the British postal system to modernise the delivery of letters and goods. Postal stamps were introduced.
Before this date, the traditional running couriers called "Hikyaku" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikyaku) were mainly used.
