Hi.
Could you correct my English?


“A villa of Mito Kohmon”

Mito kohmon’s real name was Tokugawa Mitsukuni (July 11, 1628 - January 14, 1701). He was one of territorial loads in Edo era, and is very famous due to many TV dramas entitled “Mito Kohmon”. Almost all Japanese knows his name.
I went on a trip to Ibaraki prefecture and saw his villa last Sunday. He lived there after his retirement and started writing a history book. The villa has a large beautiful garden and many visitors today.

When I was a kid, children were always joking about Kohmon because the word has the same pronunciation as “school gate” and “anus”. Kids must be making this broad corny joke even now.

Thank you.
