General discussion (non-Usagi Yojimbo related) about all things Japan -- Feudal Japan, Samurai, Ninjas, Anime & Manga, Chambara films, Japanese Pop Culture, Otaku, martial arts, history, sushi, giant robots, Godzilla... anything Japan-related!
Anyway, one of the items state that you know you've been in Japan too long...when you see a geisha. Apparently, to cross paths with a bona fide geisha is quite rare, but it was written that to see a samurai is even harder...
That's interesting....I wonder if anyone knows if the old samurai caste still exist to this day
I have seen this book before but haven't bought it yet.
I have a notebook full of book titles are about Japan. I keep updating it whenever I come across a new book I want to read about Japan. The book is getting pretty filled up.
Sometimes there just isn't enough hours in the day to read everything I want to read.
