How many I 's? How many ... Wie viele Ichs hat das Japanische? and Wie viele Dus hat das Japanische? Japanese Numbers Japanese numbers are probably the same with Chinese ones. 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. New Year in Japan Before "Shohgatsu" or "O-Shougatsu" ('O' is often added to nouns to express politeness - another peculiarity which makes Japanese so difficult to learn), the Japanese are always very busy making preparations. It is, of course, a national holiday from 29th of December up to (and including) the 3rd of January. St. Valentine's Day

ceramlinks Network Japanese Edition Japanese culture Watanabegumi: the Pavement Translation of our motto Japanese Letters Japanese did not have letters until chinese introduced their lettes 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".

Fads Fuel Cosplay Boom M arch is a time of intense activity for many Japanese workers. With the fiscal year coming to a close at month's end, most companies are busy either cooking their books or dressing-up stock portfolios with a few of the year's winners. To cap it off, there's the planning required for the multitude of parties used to welcome the arrival of the sakura blossoms to parks all throughout the country. The Captain , too, is busy. Not only does he have his own personal financial worries, but he is also the chief oddsmaker that bookies turn to for the over-under total for the number of sakura revelers hauled to Tokyo area hospitals due to alcohol poisoning. His formula, utilizing analytic and stochastic modeling techniques, has set this year's number at 80. (The surprisingly low figure is as a result of the high probability of rain during the key weekend dates and the relatively high monthly alcohol price indexes.) But make no mistake, when all is said and done, the Captain likes a good party. And this week he's all dressed-up and ready to go. Join him as he enters the world of "costume play" and finds out just what it's like to be on the other side of the mask and makeup. T his shop is the stuff of dreams.

After returning from a trip abroad, the first thing most Japanese want to do is eat a good meal ( with rice, of course ) and take a long bath. Japanese are fond of soaking in the tub. According to one survey, 88% of Japanese said they liked taking baths. In a Japanese bath, an extra-deep tub is filled to the top with very hot water, in which you sit submerged up to the neck. Most people spend about half an hour in the bath every night. Most children take their baths with their father or mother until they are in the upper grades of elementary school. The family tub is an important place for parent-child communication. Why did Japan develop its particular style of bathing? One answer might be the climate. Japan's summers are hot and humid, and its witeres are cold. Hot baths wash the body's sweat off in the summer and warm the body up in the winter. Another answer might be Japan's volcanoes. Japan is famous for its number of volcanoes, many of which are still active. In many places, hot water bubbles up from underground. These hot springs, and the presence of many fast flowing rivers with clean water, have influenced the development of Japan's bath culture. Japanese use their baths not only to get clean but to maintain their health by warming themselves up and stimulating their circulation. Because the body is washed outside the bath, the bath water stays clean and deeply refreshing. In the hot springs or the public bath, everybody bathes in the same water, creating an unclothed companionship that facilitates amiable communication. In a bath, you can relax, recover from exhaustion, rid yourself of stress. No wonder Japanese love their baths.
