Today is going to be an extra short post because I could only find one interesting/serious J_ology word for my theme. Nonetheless, I'm happy to highlight, Japanology. As the word suggests, it's the study of Japanese culture, language, culture, history, literature, art, music, science, etc. It includes contemporary social sciences as well as classical humanistic fields. This is yet another subject I wish I had more time for. Having always been fascinated by Japanese culture, I hope one day I'll get the chance to go and visit.
Anyway, I came across this video and my kids and I really enjoy it. The song is by the very talented Hikaru Shirosu. I've listened to it many times and can actually sing along, sorta. My accent is probably horrendous, but I'm shiawasena! :D
And you know what?
A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry.
