Post by KarateKa83 » 28 Jun 2020, 18:52
Just wondering apart from anime/manga, if anyone else is a huge fan of Japanese culture, from music to history, from martial arts to cuisine.
I'll start, as you may have gathered I practise Karate (really love it) however my love for all things Japanese doesn't stop there, I love the history behind the land of the rising sun (sengoku jidai period is quite interesting) and love the cuisine (ramen) I also find the language fascinating both written and spoken.
I'm looking to visit Okinawa prefecture hopefully in April, from there I'll be visiting Kokusai dori, the Pokemon store and the official shonen jump store (jump station)
I would love for everyone to share their reason for their love of the Japanese culture and if anyone has visited the mystical and beautiful country.

I bet that was an awesome experience, would love to visit Osaka-jo and Osaka-jo Hall and watch some Shin Nihon Puroresu

I'm also partial to a bit of Japanese music, I love Maximum the hormone in particular, and then of course I really do love Japanese martial arts, I've studied Bujinkan Budo/Ninpo Taijutsu (commonly referred to as Ninjutsu) for a few years, I then started Karate last October, and whilst it is not as unforgiving on the body like Budo Taijutsu, it does have it's challenging aspects, the things I enjoy the most in Karate are the Kata and Ippon Kumite.

I even used to buy/collect the Manga UK monthly magazine too.
