Japanese art, anyone..?

[Ryuuchan]

Anyone interested in japanese art; films, music, paintings, manga, anime, architecture, literacy, kimonos, swords.. you name it, please throw me with a message (or 2..).
Im n00b here, but I do know something bout most things listed above (& Im certainly interested in all). Also philosophy, food culture, sports & fashion in some point are a few things near to my heart & Im always eager to learn more about.
Im here mainly for chancing views & finding people to chat with once in a while. If odds arent against, getting a few long term friends with same interests would be more than welcome too.
Therefore: feel free to pm, I wont bite
