All Things in Japanese

Post by Todd Shogun »

I'm going to change the name of this forum -- in a way. I'd like to have it in Japanese...how would you say "All Things Japan" in Japanese??

I think the basic translation would be
日本からの物事 : にほんからのものごと, Nihon-kara no monogoto (Things/affairs from Japan).

Why don't we use the same title as classical book : Genji monogatari - Heike monagatari :
Nihon-kara Monogatari
