**** 指さし確認:YUBI-SASHI-KAKUNIN; Confirmation by finger pointing****

”YUBI-SASHI-KAKUNIN” was started in Railroad conpanies and spreaded to
the factories in dangerous environment.

Foreign people may think it is nonsense but it works very well.

**** ISHI-YAKI-IMO: Stone Baked Potato ****

When talking about the potato, Japanese will think "which kind of potato JAGA-IMO or SATSUMA-IMO?".

JADA-IMO is the same potato as western people image and SATSUMA-IMO is often translated as "sweet potato".

ISHI-YAKI-IMO is baked SATSUMA-IMO in heated stones.

In Japan, ISHI-YAKI-IMO is often served on the car.




Also,you can bake it by your self.



He baked potato for 9 minutes. I think it is not enough. He should bake them for 120 minutes at least in this environment.

Added interviews on the street.

**** 断捨離:だんしゃり;DAN-SHA-RI ****

Let me talk about how KON-MARI concept was made.

Simply and roughly talking, it began with MOTTAI-NAI, and then DAN-SHA-RI was proposed as the anti-thesis of MOTTAI-NAI. KON-MARI concept was created as a sophisticated style of DAN-SHA-RI.

As rough explanation,

MOTTAI-NAI: keep everything around you. waist nothing. respect the all efforts to create the things around you.

DAN-SHA-RI: Throw away all things you don't use. Keep the things you are using not the things which can be useful.

KON-MARI concept: Throw away things which does not excite (or "spark joy") you.

As for me, I am still captured by "MOTTAI-NAI" and can not accept "DAN-SHA-RI". KON-MARI? hmm, she is not so bad.

I can not explain these thing in detail refer to the movies.

MOTTAI-NAI:



One more "MOTTAI-NAI"



DAN-SHA-RI:



KON-MARI:

**** KANI-KAMA ****

KANI(crab)-KAMA(KAMABOKO) is crab flavoured KAMABOKO which is know as SURIMI in Europe.



KAMABOKO is smashed and boiled fish meat. Usually served like this.



KANI-KAMA had been evolved in Japan and now it is very difficult to find if it is KANI-KAMA or real crab meat.

**** 筍:たけのこ;TAKENOKO (Baby Bamboo) ****

Bamboo grows very quickly in his baby age (30cm/one night). To get baby bamboo in very good condition, you must find them before being appeared on the ground.



How to cook it. Boil it for 45 minutes with NUKA.

**** 奇妙なご神体:きみょうなごしんたい;KIMYOU-NA GO-SHINTAI (strange enshrinement) ****

I'm not sure if I exactly understand what "enshrinement" means. I mean "something important placed in a church or shrine to prey on it" like as holly body or part of holly clothes by "enshrinement" or "ご神体:GO-SHINTAI" in Japanese.

Here is the enshrinement I'm going to introduce.

Shrine maiden holds strange "GO-SHINTAI".


Or

Brides (married within a year) ride on the "GO-SHINTAI".


As Japanese have different thought about the sex compared with the western world, foreigner might be shocked at these pictures. Japanese think it is the origin of the life while it seems to be a kind of weapon in western world. I'm afraid I could not explain enough what I think.

Anyway, in those events, no one arrested for the "GO-SHINTAI" while you will be arrested when you expose your own "GO-SHINTAI" in public.

There are hundreds of events with theee "GO-SHINTAI" in Japan. Then how about female "GO-SHINTAI"? Yes, there are a few female "GO-SHINTAI" in Japan I found. But I will not disclose here. Learn Japanese and search it by yourself.
