  Tatami Culture

  Posted: January 15th, 2010, 1:54pm PST

  Hi, there are a lot of strange cultures that is thought “Strange!” for foreign people in Japan. I am interested in Tatami. We can see Tatami in almost of Japanese house. The sight of it, other foreign people cannot see any other country, so I want tell about Tatami.

  Almost of Japanese cultures came from China, but Tatami is maken by Japanese ancients. In Japan, the meteorology is hard variety, for example, humidity is so high and temperature is so high in summer. Tatami is fit for Japanese environment, so it has used for just now.

  In Nara~Heian Era, only member of nobility used to sit on it, and it was brought by hands. It was as like Japanese cushion. In kamakura~Muromachi Era, tatami was carpeted though room. It was used as like recent Tatami. From Momoyama Era to Edo Era, it was used for piece of design of Sukiya-Zukuri. It is important for tea ceremony. Tatami was first popularized in Meiji Era. Then many family use it usually, but after the World War 2, a lot of western culture came to Japan. One of them was wooden floor, chair and carpet. At the first, Tatami was main current in Japan.

  Now, wooden floor is familiarizing so much. Wooden floor is cheaper than Tatami, but in many Japanese houses, Tatami is used now.

  Why it is used in Japanese house unless it is expensive? I can live wooden floor without Tatami. There are some answers. Sight of Japanese, it is Japanese manner. Japanese put house hold Buddhist alter or household Shinto alter on Tatami. It is the place we became to be happy and healthy. Second, it is for comfortable for us. It is because Tatami has effects insulate from heat, soundproofing and control air. A researcher surveyed. There are causes that Japanese are involved with Tatami.

  By the way, why didn’t Japanese infect culture of chair? Against Japanese, western and American is tend to sit on chair. “There are no bedridden people in England, they will be sit on chair” in a book. In Japanese, tired, they tend to lie. It is difference of culture between Japanese and Western.

  Tatami is fit for Japanese environment, and Japanese sprits grew by Tatami. It made base of Japanese life style. It appear one of Japanse culture.

  December in Japan

  Posted: December 21st, 2009, 1:44pm PST

  Yesterday, I worked in part time in restaurant. Recently a number of customers came to eat dishes. I was busy and today, tomorrow, I have to work hard. Why do number of customer increase? In Japan, in end of year, it is year-end party’s season. A lot of people gather with colleagues, friends or family. So, everyone enjoys to forget the year’s bad things and to get motivation for next year. Then, there are holidays in December. For example, Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Almost of Japanese are Christians, but most people enjoy Christmas with family, friends or lovers. In downtown, there are beautiful illuminations. It is wonderful month. Ah... I must work hard, I spend so busy month. Give me warm illumination. See you.

  Speaking; survey

  Posted: December 21st, 2009, 2:48am PST

  We tell about the entertainment in KGU, and we found out some interesting answers! One of answers is the bowling place because they want to enjoy with friends in their free time.

  Then, Movie Theater is also popular among KGU students. Some of them feel bowling when they are in free time. In amusements, they want to refresh!

  This idea has some advantages! Many of them they can communicate with their friend, and they can also make new friends.

  On the other hand it has some problem, amusements are not good for studying and some people may spend much money to play these.

  In order to solve these problems, we asked the way to manage the amusement. For carrying on these, students will do a fund-raising campaign. Some students say we need to collect many signatures.

  After the investigation, people who want some amusement in KGU, it makes   them refreshed and for enjoyed their university life.

  Speaking: Disagree with Elevator and Tunnel

  Posted: December 21st, 2009, 2:34am PST

  Our group has criticisms against Yurina, Hikaru and Shoko’s group. Their plan is that they want to build more elevators and tunnels in university for convenience. Their opinion is these; there is not enough elevators in KGU, or the students sometimes can’t use elevators and some of them can’t be class on time. Handicapped people are also difficult to use the elevator because of the numbers of users.

  They also have another opinion that they want to make tunnels to defend against the rain and the ultraviolet rays.

  We disagree with their opinion, because we there are enough elevators in KGU. Handicapped people also can use the elevator now by thanks to the students’ kindness. Next, built the elevator in KGU, almost of students would depend on them. It is lack of exercise. The number of student who are not healthy may increase.

  About the tunnel, we think making tunnel is waste of money, because we just have own umbrella in rainy days. Then we can also apply sunscreen in summer. We don’t need the tunnels.

  I think we need to improve other problem in KGU for more useful things. In the opinion, it is wonderful idea, but some neck. They should improve our criticism for them.

  Speaking; Presentation

  Posted: December 21st, 2009, 1:55am PST

  Do you have good university life? There are many problems in KGU, so our group thinks that we should improve better this university. One problem is that there is no entertainment place in KGU.  In other universities, have some attractive places. They usually become their characteristics. We think that KGU is very comfortable, but we feel something lacking. Being entertainment places, for example, bowling place, karaoke or theater in campus, KGU students would be satisfied and enjoy university life more. Then in fact, there are some universities that have its bowling place, and its theater. It’s wonderful. We investigated how students feel about it. Then, we could understand students’ feeling, so tell the survey. Almost of people answered that they want bowling place and theater. The reason of the bowling place is that almost of students can enjoy with friends. As another reason, they can make new friends through playing bowling. The theater, most people like watching movies, and some go to theater to watch new movies and old movies. Movies make many people grown and they can communicate with friends by talking about watching movies. It means the theater will become a nice topic among the students.

  If the entertainment place is built, we think the place where are next to fourteenth building is good, because now the place is for parking but people don’t make use of the place so much. Then, everyone needs to pay 100 yen to use these amusements, because it is good price for students who don’t have money so much.

  However, this plan, there are also has some problems. First problem is money. How do respondents collect to build the entertainment place, to solve this problem, we have a solution. We are going to collect contribution from some sponsors, and the other way is to correct signatures to hand in Student Section in KGU. Next, another problem is that they are afraid that they may waste of money and waste of time without studying. The place may be a gamble places and students will not stand in the way of students studying. Generally, students must study. So we need to make some strict roles. For example, people who don’t have enough credits to graduate can’t use these.

  We are interested this plan, because it may be a characteristic of KGU. We should build entertainment place, and this university will be finer than now.

  Pick Up Language

  Posted: December 15th, 2009, 11:32am PST

  What do you think you should do other languages on to study? Why do you want to study English? I thought about them. Then, I want to tell about it through my experience.
  When I first touched English, I was in elementary school. Just at time, some assistant language teachers from the English–speaking countries, they went to the school to teach once two months. I was taught alphabet, sang songs written in English and exercise with the songs. They were good experience.
  However, most students speak Japanese without English. We often have more few chances to speak English always, so there is nobody who is able to speak well. Now, in the university, there are a lot of teachers and students studying abroad that are from English-speaking countries. So we cannot talk with them, it is good chance to speak English. If you repeat experiences like that, you may be good speakers.
  In junior high school, most students in Japan began to be taught English by the ministry of education in Japan. There, students who are good to English and students who hate English are divided by ability of each teacher. They are English teacher, but each how to teach English is different by teachers. There are good teacher and teacher for each student. Because of it, it determines that they get liked English or hated English. In belief, capacity of how to English makes students liked or hate English.
  Next, in junior high school and high school, most students must take exams. I wanted to get good score. Everyone must get minimum score, but there, a problem happens. Some people want to get minimum score, and get a unit. There, they don’t have hope to be abele to speak, read, listen English well. In belief, some students study only for Exam. There is no enjoying on lean English.
  Now, classes in university, some enjoying is to be. For example, in reading class, we have aim to master newspaper written in English, in speaking, sing songs English's songs, announce presentation, in writing, thus, I am writing blog hard. There are difficulties, but are interesting things.
  On to study other language, I think people should have enjoying, interest and hope to use. Otherwise, you will write, speak, listen the languages well. Then, you need chances to use English. Up to now, most students don’t have chances because there is few foreign people in Japan and chance to communicate with them.
  However, many opportunities are in now. In downtown, there are some foreign bars café that people from other countries. You had better go there. Then, international communities are in various regions. You should participate in the clubs. There are many foreign people, so talk to them. It is natural study to learn other language. Then you can get intelligence of different cultures and habits.
  Last, to up language level, you should study the language. Then you had better touch the culture and foreign countries people in environment to learn the language. The most important things are having interest and a desire that you want know about language and cultures.

  Posted: November 23rd, 2009, 1:39am PST

  
  

  Recently, don’t you hear the word in Japan? It is “Soshoku-Danshi” Do you know them? They are boys like grazing animals. So, like as herbivores. Then, I want to tell you about Soshoku-Danshi.

  Do you know the reason that they are called “Soshoku”? The many various reasons seem to be. For example, a young who can’t confess to girl he likes, who doesn’t like going outdoor better than indoor, doesn’t like meats better than vegetables and are slim, white and sissy. Their grazing systems are gentle heart, not tied to masculinity and not greedy for love. It’s poor boys to be hurt or injured. There are many other reasons. They are thready, so people call them “soshoke-Danshi”
  

   Whereas them, there are also young who are like lion, called “Nikushoku-Danshi” Unlike them, they like meats better than vegetables, like exercise, so active and strong. They are positive to lovemaking.

  　According to a survey, 60% of young are “Soshoku-Danshi” It’s so wonderful. There are a lot of zebra in Japan but a lot of women like “Nikushoku-Danshi” Then, women have been being strong. In them, there are people who can honestly say to boys. They dominate boys in Japan. Japan is lion’s territory.

   By the way, which do you think I am zebra or lion? Speaking of which one, I like lion. I like meat and exercise. Then, I can say what I want to say to girls. However, I am slim and white. I apply some conditions to “Soshoku-Danshi”

   There are various people. It is natural. Criticism from men, it is not good to separate either. Becuz, “Soshoku-Danshi” eat meats.

Regarded John Lennon, his wife, who is Ono Yoko is showing some photos she took during his lifetime. Like that, click one of member, fly to each other sites. It is like branches, but there is not in Bob’s site.

   

  The site about Bob Marley is good, but there are some points that be improved to better. First of all, there are reggae music or Bob’s songs only, so should have many kind of music regardless reggae music. For example, click to jazz, to rock, to Japanese reggae and s on. This is one of point to be good web site. Second, Bob Marley was a Jamaican, so it leads to Jamaica’s information. There are people in the world loves Bob. If they go here to know him, they had better understand Jamaica. It is connected to economic impact.

   

  Finally, the sites of musicians are similar to each other. There are some site be attracted us. They have any good points. Bob Marley’s web site has interesting point in the all.

  Do you have favorite places? I have a favorite place. It is my hometown which is place having spent in young time. It is Jojima in Kuruke city.
  First, there are many friends who had had good student times together. When I come back here, I often meet them and take a drive with my friend. We sometimes talk about school days. I remember that I had fought and also romped in young. It brings me back old memories. They are members of society, who are working. I am head about difficulty of jobs by them. It is study for me. They are treasure for me.
  Second, I can relax not to do at home. Now I live all by myself in Kumamoto. I can’t have meals for my health. In my home, I can eat a lot of foods for my health because my mother is good at cooking. The dishes make me happy and gotten fat. It is like a pig farm for me, so I am a pig and I am brought to Kumamoto. She says “study because of getting energy ”
  Next there are natural places, for example, are Chikugo river, which is biggest river in Kyushu, chikugo plain. There are much green. It is good atmosphere. I can be born again by them and I have hopes for something to do whenever getting down. They make me be fun.
  Everybody has each favorite places. They are enjoying the times whenever being there. Hearts tired by relationship with people, who are friends, bosses and so on flush very well.

  I read the story “The Pizza That We Made”

  By the way, have you cooked pizzas since you were born? I never have cooked. But I want to cook when I read this story.

  The story has Suzanne, Max and Jake. They are cooks. First, they fill the flour in the cup and it is so soft and fine. Then they mix with a spoon, and mash, fold, push and mold. Next, they make the dough fly, spread in the pan. They pour the sauce. Then they picked cheese and green things. Last, they baked in the oven. It is how to cook the pizza by them.

  TEH ENORMOUS TURNIP ~Book Reviews 10~

  Posted: July 18th, 2009, 3:42pm PDT

  I read the story “ THE ENORMOUS TURNIP”.

  It is interesting story for me.

  The farmer went to his field to get a turnip. He found a so big turnip with normal sizes. He decided to puck this one. He tugged so much and he was puffing and panting. His wife saw his appearance. She hugged the farmer with help to put the turnip. They both tugged and tugged. The boy, who is called Jack, saw his parents putting and panting. Then he helps. He held her skirt. They tugged until were red in the face. But it didn’t move. Farmer’s dog saw them puffing and panting, and he helps. He pulled Jack’s shirt. They all tugged and tugged. Next, a cat arrives and she bit the dog’s tail with help to put the turnip. The dog rips Jack’s shirt, he tore his mother’s skirt, she loses the farmer. They fell over. They try once again. A bird came. She pecked the cat’s tail. They all tugged and tugged, everybody say “Slowly, slowly, very very slowly and slowly…” then the turnip began to move. “It is Big!” the farmer said. “It is a Huge!” said his wife. Jack said “Enormous!” any others say “Woof!, meow!, Tweet!” the turnip was putted by them. I understand how to express the big size. By the way, how was the turnip used? It became to be so much soup. But it was too much to eat by them… see you.

  Thinking About Lilo And Stitch

  Posted: July 14th, 2009, 12:03pm PDT

  
  In my opinion, the movie ‘Lilo and Stitch’ is an interesting animation movie. The story happens in Hawaii and it made me fool anything. So let me tell you about the movie “Lilo and Stitch”
  
  First of all, Lilo is a little girl who lives in Hawaii. And Stitch is a monster that is from the space. He doesn’t feel goodness of family. They were not friends each other. Lilo lives with Stitch and teaches him goodness of family and friends. At the end, he could learn ‘what is family and friends’. They became friends. He thanks to Lilo. I think they are a good family. According to this movie, I think that it wants to mean importance of family. In the movie, Lilo has no parents. She lives with her sister at first, who is Nani. Living with Stitch, there are good atmosphere. Then there sometimes are the words “OHANA is family, Families are always staying with.” I think these words are very good and made us though significant of family.
  
  These days, I have no time to stay with my family because I’m living alone now and have many things to do. For example, a part-time job, hanging out with my friends, studying in the university... Now I should do anything that are cleaning, cooking and washering. So I can’t go back home to see my family. I can’t talk with them. When my parents call me, I become to be happy. Long time I see, their faces are good smile. They may be happy too. So I think they made me considered about my family.
  
  By the way, can you make friends or family with aliens or monsters? I fear them because I sometimes become to be a chicken to be near a big dog. In addition, I cannot be friend with aliens. Stitch is pretty, so I think that Lilo might make family with him. Is it discrimination?
  
  Finally, do you cherish your family and friends? Whichever you answer yes or no, it is necessary for you. So you should take care, understand and thank to them. So you can be taken care like them. If you tell what you cannot tell in days, they will be happy. You say words of thank them, they will be cry to be happy too.

  Learning From Lilo and Stitch

  Posted: June 30th, 2009, 5:20am PDT

  In my opinion, the movie ‘Lilo and Stitch’ is a so interesting animation movie. It is a Hawaiian story, so I became to go to Hawaii. And it made me fool anything. So let me tell you about the movie “Lilo and Stitch”
  
  First of all, Lilo is a little girl who lives in Hawaii. And Stitch is a monster that is from the space. He doesn’t feel goodness of family. They were not friends each other. And Lilo lives with Stitch and teaches him goodness of family and friends. The end, he could learn ‘what is family and friends’. They made friends. He thanks to Lilo. I think they are a good family and friends. According to this movie, I think that it wants to mean importance of family. In the movie, Lilo has no parents. She lives with her sister at first, who is Nani. But living with Stitch, there become to be good atmosphere. Then there sometimes are the words “OHANA is family, Families are always staying with.” I think these words are very good and made us though significant of family.
  
  These days, I have no time to stay with my family because I’m living alone now and have many things to do. For example, a part-time job, hanging out with my friends, studying in the university... Now I should do anything that are cleaning, cooking and washering. So I can’t go back home to see my family. And I can’t talk with them. When my parents call me, I become to be happy. And long time I see, their faces are good smile. They may be happy too. So I think they made me considered about my family.
  
  By the way, can you make friends or family with aliens or monsters? I fear them because I sometimes become to be a chicken to be near a big dog. In addition, I cannot be friend with aliens. Stitch is pretty, so I think that Lilo might make family with him. Is it a discrimination?
  
  Finally, do you cherish your family and friends? Whichever you answer yes or no, it is necessary for you. So you should take care, understand and thank to them. So you can be taken care like them. If you tell what you cannot tell in days, they will be happy. And you say words of thank them, they will be cry to be happy too.

  Cambodia Animal Rescue ~Book Review 4~

  Posted: June 8th, 2009, 2:22am PDT

  Let me tell you about the book “Cambodia Animal Rescue”
  These days, many animals are to be victims against poachers in Cambodia. And they are sold illegally around the world. Haven’t you ever listened the news about animals not confessed to feed in Japan? Then the animals are suffered.
  First of all, I tell about a tiger. Her name is Dara. She loves just lying around and relaxed, she also likes to be touched and talked. Like other animals, she likes to play. But unfortunately, she fell a victim to poachers. And she was saved from Phnom Tamao Rescue Center, which is an organization to save victims of illegal poachers of wild animals in Cambodia. They are to ready, many these animals will be brought back to the wilderness to live in a safer area.
  In many cases, these animals rescued by the PTRC can be returned to wild quickly. But in other cases, the animals need more time or special cases. So it is when the Phnom Tamao Rescue Center is to be involved.
  Unfortunately, there are sometimes things that animals brought back are to be victims. Why do poachers want to the animals? If a wild tiger is so weaken, they want to get a tiger being beautiful. It is because poachers can make a lot of money by selling animals body parts illegally. In some countries, parts of animals are grint into powder. It is sold in high money. It is used as medicines, but nobody knows it is not good for animals.
  Like that, there are many victims in the place I don’t know. So we should find out many problems.

  Taiko Master ~Book Review 3~

  Posted: June 4th, 2009, 2:31am PDT

  
  I read the book “Taiko Master” Do you know why Taiko was born? it is because that… two thousand years ago, Japanese warriors began to use drums to make their enemies fear them. People use to do their daily activities to best of drums. Over the years, the sound of the drums went away until now.
  In the story, it tells abut Taiko master “Seiichi Tanaka” who is a drummer. He went over from the village of Japan to San Francisco to tell Japanese Taiko. And it is so popular in North America because of his acts.
  The drummer says that an important thing of Taiko is that a group of individual drummers must act as one. Every drumming has to be one. So the unity of drummers is so important. Then drummers have to get together sound, body and mind. During a performance, the energy of all of these parts goes into the beating of the drums. When drummer’s body, mind and sound become to be one, the harmony is so good thing.
  In the early 1900s, traditional Taiko was very popular in Japanese-American communities. But By the mid 1900s, many people were losing interest in Taiko. And in 1968, Mr. Tanaka brought a new interest and a new style of Taiko from Japan. It was fresh experience for them. And he was popularizing Taiko and telling sprit of Taiko.
  Now, in North America, there are many Taiko drummers. They know the spirit of Taiko told by Mr. Tanaka. The sprit is known as “Mother Nature ” This is what makes Taiko special. All energy from Mother Nature goes through your body and come to body.
  I first know Mr. Tanaka. It is good to tell to foreign countries our traditions. And I will be happy, when they know my country.

  Dreamtime Painters ~Book Review 2~

  Posted: June 4th, 2009, 2:21am PDT

  
  Hi, let me tell you about the book “Dreamtime Painter” This is about Aboriginal rock art “Dreamtime”
  Australia is very large county with. There are varied landscapes, and we can find many arts that are over 30,000 years old. Arts painted on rocks were made by Dreamtime painters.
  Dreamtime shows about an Australian story about the beginning of the world. It describes a time long ago when rocks, animals, plants and people first landed to the earth. It is a big part of Aboriginal history and culture. We can see Aboriginal images of the dreamtime in ancient rock painting throughout Australia. Most of them are under the ground of Kakudu National Parks, which are owned by the Aboriginal people.
  Thompson Yulidgirru is an Aboriginal artist. He still paints in traditional arts. He learned how to paint and the Old Aboriginal Histories from his grand father. Then, Ian Morris is a naturalist, who studies Dreamtime paintings in Australia. They say that “the rock art here goes back almost as far as any known civilization, they are the oldest records of human civilization in the world”
  The arts are like a history book and a guide to everyday life. They shows stories about hunters appearing kangaroos, and battling in wars.
  But their arts is decreasing and changing nowadays. It is because that numbers of aboriginal artists are decreasing. And many of them losing color due to time and bad weather. There are all these agents of deterioration acting arts, as like Japan, the old wall paintings are going bad, also like world, the picture about the last supper is going bad… In my opinion, we should take care of cultural things because it tells to our descendants about mankind histories and earth histories. But decreasing things will be end. It is natural and earth rule. We cannot block them.
  This story is known the Aboriginal thinking. I was surprised that ancient people thought about begging the world, lives of animals. Then they show people of today. It is wonderful. So we should learn to them.

  Steve’s father, Ned Reit is the editor of the weekly newspaper, CADO STAR. That day, his only reporter could not work, so he became to have to find something interesting for the newspaper instead of him. And Steve went out.
  Next, he found a girl who he doesn’t know. She is so beautiful. And he was looking for her. But whenever he looked at her, he made many mistakes. For example, he drove on a garden, spilled juice, fell down and so. On her hand, whenever he made mistakes, she took pictures.
  
  She arrived at CADO STAR’S office to sell photographs for the newspaper. Ned wanted them by tomorrow. And Steve came back his office. But she was gone. So it is he came just as she went out.
  
  Steve hang around on the way, he talked Mr. Pickett. He is an avid reader of CADO STAR, has a lot of newspaper from 70’s and sometimes reads them. And he shows Steve a article. It was written about his old school friend, Bud Richie who is a writer. He heard that he is back in Cado. Steve was asked to go to the old Potter house where he is living. He undertook.
  
  He got to his house and talked Mr. Richie. He can remember that, and he is come back in dear old Cado again. Steve asked him the questions about his time away and for paper and pen, and then Mr. Richie begins to tell him about them. For example, the Himalayas are the biggest and most beautiful mountains in the world, he like Paris and Steve must go to Africa…
  
  After that, across the street, a cat is climbing up a tree. It cannot get down, he was going to help it. But he fell in the pond. When he fell, a girl gave her hands. And he knows that she is one of his daughters. Her name is Marietta.
  
  Finally, Steve and Marietta became to be each good friend. He is a good newspaper reporter, she take good photographs. And the article written by him and picture taken by her were run in the newspaper. The story concludes happily.

  The Escape From...

  Posted: May 16th, 2009, 2:50am PDT

  
  wassap!!
  Yesterday, I played basketball with my friends. I had had May disease recently because of sinking down in thought, so it made me refreshed. It was so exciting sport. Aren’t you been May disease? Having the disease, you should refresh by running, playing sports, sing songs and so on for a change of pace. And your weight will be down… that reminds me, I heard that there isn’t the name ‘May disease’ in medical journal. It isn’t right name. In medical, it is said “adjustment disorder”.
  Do you know? Cause we say it that the people who have many hopes are tired in new life. When they fall into such situation are May or June, so we became to say “May disease”. well…I am not a freshman and what is my disease?

  What I learned in Kumamoto

  Posted: May 12th, 2009, 12:01pm PDT

  
  Last year, I learned so many things. I came to Kumamoto to enter to Kumamoto Gakuen University. I met so many people. They are very kind. When I met them, I thought that personal relationship is very important.
  
  For example, if I look for a working part time, one of my friends tells the news some restaurants have been seeking several part-timers who have some experience in editing. So I got a working part time job. And I’m working hard. And if I want to get a bike, one of them knows the man who can hand over his bike. But I don’t have bike license, so I can’t drive a bike…
  
  There are various people who I know. They have any personal relationship. So communicating them, I can join with various way. It’s good.
  
  see ya!!
