Hi and welcome to Japanese Language Culture Food. This is our ongoing project with many new updates for 2012. We are now living in Nara, Japan and own two adjacent properties. You are welcome to visit our personal site to learn more about the good and the bad (mostly good) of living in Japan. This month (January 2012) we added the Facebook Comments Application to every page of this site. Please feel free to go crazy and comment on your favorite pages. Express your appreciation for this wonderful country and culture.

Please help us build the kanji pages for you and others to use. Specifically, click on Kanji 1-6 in the right hand column. Pick your favorite kanji, scroll down to the Facebook comment application, and follow the instructions to add examples to the page.
