What do I think of when I image Japan?

Well the moment I read this thread, I imagined a temple/shrine in the middle of an ancient, tall-treed forest. With other old monuments and statues.

^_^

WHEN I THINK OF JAPAN, FIRST I THINK OF LOTS OF COLORFULL LIGHTS IN THE CITY AT NIGHT, THEN CHERRY BLOSSOMS AND ALSO SHRINES.:vsign:

Same here. Especially Koya-san.

Either that, or a scene I saw in Wakayama City of 2 vending machines right next to each other... one had cute little plush dolls for children (including Disney characters, I think, though I'm not sure) in one of those grabbing claw game things, and right next to it was a vending machine for used girls panties (guaranteed to have actually been worn).

:eek:

When I think of Japan I see Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, temples and shrines nestled in beautiful forests, the lights of Tokyo at night, and large crowds of people going about their everyday lives.

UNaruto1990 03-18-2008 05:59 PM

To tell you the truth when I think of Japan, I actually see the future..

Cyasarin 03-18-2008 06:21 PM

When I think of Japan, I think of Tokyo with tall buildings and neon lights and a whole bunch of people. [Makes me feel a bit claustrophobic.] I also think of anime, people in harajuku and visual kei outfits, and Asian girls with super hot hair on cell phones. I also think of cherry blossoms, chop sticks and sushi and I seriously do think of those cool little square Asian plates they have. I love those things! I wish I had some, but I don't. XP
Yeah, I don't think of shrines and temples and ancient Japanese stuff that much like I should. I think of a more modern day Japan than an ancient Japan.

anrakushi 03-18-2008 10:37 PM

i see my friends that i miss very much, my skate spot near lake biwa, my apartment building where i lived and this one person i will never forget.

Tturtle 03-18-2008 10:45 PM

when i think of Japan I usually think of Tokyo - a huge metropolis that just goes on forever

EveV 03-18-2008 10:58 PM

Amnell 03-18-2008 11:29 PM

I usually think of big green forests just beyond a sea of urban sprawl, and then Kanji ^_^ .

Ooh! And ohashi and my first time eating Sushi...

billysweird 03-28-2008 04:21 PM

i think of Onsens in the snow, Monkeys w00T! (dont feed them they will attack you and steal your wallet) Umm, Nightclubs, fashion, Technology (Go Gundam VR and 0080 arcade card game!), Food (o god yes), Sakura (amazing) random chickies comin up and askin for my denwa bango! lol! and Akihabara. And weird messed up porn....(balloon and feet porn wtf?)

godwine 04-01-2008 12:18 PM

Fatal Frame *shudders*

I think of your Kimono and girls with their eyes: very small, hehe:D :D

Henbaka 08-29-2008 02:57 PM

I think of the intenseness that is Tokyo (prob. because that's the only place I've been to in Japan). Also izakayas, politeness as godwine said, well-dressed females and technology.

SSJup81 08-29-2008 04:26 PM

When I think of Japan, for some odd reason, I think of the countryside.

kaelazors 08-29-2008 04:49 PM

I think the same but without the claustrophobia! ^_^

Pyro 08-31-2008 02:53 AM

I image Tokyo, a steaming bowl of curry ramen while being in a lifely restaurant, anime billboard adds, beautiful Japanese girls with cool phones, an awesome night life, and happiness. Chessey I know but I don't care. :vsign:

Shoryuken 08-31-2008 01:55 PM

Whenever I think of japan I think of maid cafe's , Anime , cherry blossoms, temples and shrines , Rice and Curry , Sushi , chop sticks , and the sexy japanese... ;P

Raisthlin 09-26-2008 11:58 PM

the first image i get is the old forest and cemetery of Oku-no-in

edit: thats on mount koya by the way

CarleyGee 09-27-2008 01:11 AM

I see Tokyo at night ^_^
and temples..

SGTOkinawa 09-29-2008 02:01 PM

I see me having a job in Okinawa, sitting at my new desk, pictures of my wife and kids on the desk, listening to music as I work, driving home in my K-car and arriving at my 4 bedroom house, and saying Tadima![spell?]

Or, the beach, anytime I think of the beach its on Okinawa, or Miyako-jima where there are NO SOUNDS but the ocean.

I'd want to die in my sleep with sand between my ties and the sound of the waves.

Hewa! :vsign:

Tsuyako 09-29-2008 03:52 PM

I see Tokyo when someone mentions Japan...I think it's because it was like the first image I ever saw of the country years ago so it kind of stuck in my mind :)

Trouble 12-07-2008 02:43 AM

I think of Sakura no Ki and get a comfy feeling :D

Arikado 12-07-2008 02:48 AM

I instantly think of the bustling intersections in big cities like Tokyo where tons of people are crossing the streets. XD
