The Offtopicest Post EVAR!!!

Okay, so I'm not really bragging about this.

But.

I know lossa people here are interested in culture stuff, or even Japanese stuff particularly; as tomorrow is the eve of the Emperor's birthday, I'm celebrating by opening up my blog for questions.
 So, got any fun questions about Japan I might be able to find the answers to? Any discussion provoking ideas?

Just want to carry salutations from the Annux-to-be to the current world's only emperor? (As crown prince he represented Japan at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. For some reason that amazes me.)



[Mods, you can spank me if you have to. I'm just game for a try.]

~Clarification: head over to my personal blog tomorrow for this. Unless you want to reply here, that's fine...but I'm inviting you to an Event at "anachred".~

I've heard of that book! The, um, Tales of the Otori?

Yep. And you know what's handy? The whole sequence has been written, and my library has the ones in the main series.

I recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind grim war/feudal society stuff and loves historically deep fantasy.

It more to the feel of a historical novel than a fantasy. Magic is negligable. Just a good book.
