Tofu and Vending Machines

Because I like photos of Japan or of things from Japan here’s some snaps of tofu and soy milk and read how nice it is on your taste buds and for your health.

Plus pictures of canned drinks in vending machines of course Japan has almost everything available in vending machines.

On Japan Probe

Since I have a 100+ unread entries from Japan Probe’s feeds, I’m only going to post today’s entries only.

First off, read about why Americans and Japanese Read Faces Differently. Is it really due to tatemae? and probably it will help you figure out those Japanese emoticons.

Still via Japan Probe, another study that found a Perceptual Divide Between Asians and Americans.

If your not up to some scientific studies stuff for today then checkout Japan’s “top three” of almost everything you can think of starting with a group of hundreds of islands called Matsushima.

And for fun, create your own Toro(the Sony cat) from paper. It’s a limited paper-folding project offered in downloadable PDF or JPEG form until June 30th.


Welcome to Hyper Japan! If you like everything Japanese then bear with me as I try to catch up with my favorite Japan blogs all over the web.
