I think that is an awful name for a blog and I know some Japanese would find it offensive.

The use of the word "jap" is actually against the rules here. It was a degrading term for the Japanese enemy by Americans in WWII.

I would if I were you.

It's derogatory in Japan itself. Even Japanese people who don't study English know what it means.

To second MMM, I'd avoid the use of "Jap" if I were you.

As a happy bonus, "J" is typically used as a prefix for "things Japanese" even in Japan. Try JCult. Although then it sounds like it's a cult of people obsessed with Japanese things.

I would just go with JCulture, personally. Ｊカルチャー
