Passion
Why do foreigners interested in Japan and Japanse culture?
I studied abroad in the U.S and Australia with these questions in mind, and through this experience, I learned how proud I am to be Japanese and how precious Japanese culture is. Japan has a unique food culture, craft culture, and manners. Calligraphy is also a part of traditional Japanese culture, that you learn not only for the beauty of its characters, but also for the spirit and manners of the Japanese people.
