Tendai's Recap of Japan Day 2020
Hey everyone its Tendai. Every year the Japanese Embassy hosts an event where you can experience a slice of Japanese culture. Of course I had to be there and here is a snippet of the day.
(おりがみ/折り紙) ORIGAMI
In this stand you could witness the making of paper origami. Origami is the art of paper folding and not only am I an expert in folding a crane, but I also got to teach a few people how to.
(着物/きもの) 👘KIMONO
At this station you could try on a kimono or a yukata to take pictures with. I got a chance to take a picture in a kimono with a Katana (Sanji-san would be proud) . I think I looked really cool in it if I do say so myself.
(おさけ/お酒🍶) OSAKE
At this table you could taste a shot of Japanese alcohol called Osake. Personally I think it is like white wine a little different but still enjoyable. It goes down smoothly and it has a sweet refreshing taste. Just try not to have too much lol.
Kanpai !かんぱい! ✨🍻
NERD OTAKU
At the event Nerd Otaku also had a table where they were selling figurines and keychains.I got a keychain or two of my favourite animes Yuri!! on ice (ユリ!!on ice)and Osomatsu-San (おそ松さん)
KNOWLEDGE
There were some publications that were being given out for free and one of them was about Japanese Gardens. I did enjoy reading these publication and I will be using it as a reference in my comic in the future and I appreciate the free giveaway.
OVERALL
12/10 would still go. I had loads of fun at this event and I appreciate the Japanese Embassy and Nerd Otaku for facilitating it. I hope to see everyone there again next year 💛
じゃあまたね。🙋💛 see you all soon 💛

Bookish Affairs
Read, read, read. And get this, there’s something for everyone. Literally. It doesn’t matter what you want, how bizarre it sounds, or how outlandish it is; it exists somewhere out there.
The Soulsborne Essentials
The term “Soulsborne” originated from the existence of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls. It’s not hard to fathom the mechanics and themes these games directly inspired, and the discourse that came with them.
Console Wars: Is Xbox Shaping The Future of Gaming?
The console wars have long been a defining aspect of the gaming industry with giants like Xbox and PlayStation vying for supremacy.
