The video provides techniques and tips for the entire spectrum of bows, from the commonplace shallow bow (for casual apologies) to the various forms of ojigi (for serious apologies) — including the long ojigi (used when apologizing to the public for a scandal or product recall) and the perpetual ojigi (to express determination).

It&#8217;s a chore, just like ironing your shirt and sorting your socks. Trust the Japanese to come up with the quick and easy solution to our toenail woes.

Aren&#8217;t these some of the coolest toys that you ever come across in life? It&#8217;s both educational and fun, it&#8217;s form follows function. It&#8217;s modern mecha meets cultural roots.
Japanese toy giant Bandai is set to release a series of nifty kanji figures that transform into the shapes of the animals they represent. The shape-shifting critters, [...]]]></description>

If you break down the formula of any successful Japanese anime, you essentially have the following (in no particular order):
1. Swords and/or Supernatural powers
2. Robots
3. Even bigger robots
4. Catchy opening and ending song
5. Transformation of some sorts
6. Boobs
So what do you do when the Japanese got hold of the license to remake/revise the ever popular [...]]]></description>

So what happens when your dog is desperate for a walk and it&#8217;s been raining heavily for the past few days? Dogs usually don&#8217;t like the rain and like its human owners, most dogs don&#8217;t like wearing raincoats either.
The solution could be in this umbrella for dogs — it faces downwards  instead of up [...]]]></description>

Japan, it&#8217;s the one magical word that will conjure up endless images of beautiful natural sceneries, neons, advanced technologies, geishas, kimono, kabuki, sumo, anime, idols, sushi and  much much more.
Now take that image, add gold and chrome (lots of it), awnings, baffles, pipes, yet more neons, wings &#8230; and blend all of it into [...]]]></description>

Our good friend, Lisa Katayama of Tokyomango (and Boing Boing) fame recently wrote about the wonderful world of Kit Kat in Japan (and beyond). Lisa mentioned that &#8220;Sampling different flavoured Kit Kats has become a side hobby for some Japanese, and in turn Nestle produces unusual flavours for consumption — mostly in Japan, but also [...]]]></description>
