Did you know Hajime Sorayama created the original concept and body design of Sony’s original AIBO robot dog in 1999?

The boys barely knew each other. Together, they murdered a 69-year-old. The robbery seems to be part of a trend in Japan: gangs of strangers who are recruited online for ‘dark gigs’ thetimes.com/world/asia/art…

Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸
It's not rare to encounter Japanese who believe that the average Japanese person pays much higher taxes than people in other developed countries. However, when compared to other OECD nations, Japan doesn't stand out for making its people pay very high taxes. The graph used in the quoted viral tweet misleadingly focuses on the tax rate for the highest income bracket - people who make over 40 million yen ($250K). Less than 1% of Japanese are in that tax bracket.

Lance Gatling - 丙午年 Year of the Fire Horse!
good question. The Takeuchi and Ikeda embassies to Europe, then the Tokugawa embassy to the Paris Exhibition 1867, which showcased Satsuma Japansch Zaky, which lives on today. That's not all bad. The Meiji era Iwakura mission was the last such "embassy" I think. The 1920s naval arms reduction treaty talks were not so designated diplomatically, I think.

On May 14, 1860, the first Japanese embassy to the United States arrived in Washington, D.C. This official diplomatic mission, dispatched by the Tokugawa Shogunate after Japan's opening to the world, was greeted with grand ceremonies across the United States and captured the attention of the entire American public. After the ratification of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, this Japanese mission took the historic first step in U.S.-Japan diplomacy.

Aussie friends, please help me. Twice dining in restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto I have been stuck sitting next to Australian tourists who are doing speaker phone conversations. Super loud and disruptive. Is this normal down under? Can I tell them to please stop? Help!

An enterprising gentleman in Japan created the "Monster Wolf" scarecrow to repel animals. Since it uses 50 different sounds including wolf & human (Ora Ora!), animals don’t get used to it. One farmer praised it saying. "I no longer find bear footprints" 300 units have been sold

HANTAVIRUS OUTBREAK 🧵 Following the WHO press briefing, I wanted to compile a thread with the key points. 1/ ISOLATION OF PASSENGERS Concerningly, it seems the WHO are NOT recommending to isolate cruise ship passengers (even high-risk contacts) UNLESS they develop symptoms.
