“Why can’t we meet?—the children and parents after divorce—”

Japan's archaic system is still implamented today! Children are suffering from this outdated Japanese family law.
It is time to establish an adequate visitation system. A lecture and demonstration will be held in Tokyo

July 13th 2008  Open 12:30pm, 13:00~16:30

Samurai Sword vs.  Dust Pan

This can only make you cry....Noooo not a dustpan!

OSAKA — Japan Today

Police on Tuesday arrested a 22-year-old man for allegedly robbing a convenience store with a model samurai sword and stealing 110,000 yen in Minoh City, Osaka.

Takeshi Nakajima, 22, was arrested for allegedly robbing the convenience store around 1:35 a.m., threatening a 19-year-old shop clerk with the sword.

The clerk chased the suspect outside with a dustpan, caught him and handed him over to police.Police said several similar cases have been reported in the area since April.

Chūson-ji （中尊寺）is a Buddhist temple in Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture Japan. It is the head temple of the Tendai sect in Tohoku (northeastern Japan). The Tendai sect claims that the temple was founded in 850 by Ennin, the third chief abbot of the sect but most scholars believe that Chuson-ji was founded by Fujiwara no Kiyohira in about 1100. There is no archaeological or historical record of Buddhist activity in this area before 1100.

No, No, I wasn’t really there, it’s just a dream to ride the time machine and go back to Edo period, man, I don’t know whether they’ll understand me or not, no, not regarding the Language, I can learn Japanese and in fact managed to start fine tuning myself to it, but what I mean is: will we be able to understand each other’s mentality? As Arabian knights fought with swords, they didn’t have something called “Ritual suicide” (seppuku), why did they choose to do that, hadn’t they had any evaluation for life?

I have read that if you have tattoos you are not allowed in hot springs (onsens)! Is this true?
