my love for japan started back in high school when i discovered anime. since then, i've taught myself hiragana (katakana is next baby!), visited japan for a week (must get back there!), integrated japanese music into my collection, done a little cosplay, perfected the use of chopsticks, eaten more ramen than your average broke college student, learned to cook traditional japanese foods, made a kimono, worked with an american manga artist and apprenticed to a master anime wig stylist. and i'm not done yet! i've picked up a very tiny amount of japanese, but i'd really like to know more and be able to communicate the next time i visit japan.
well, that's me and my history with all things japanese! i look forward to learning more!
ja mata!
