Wow. I am part Japanese and the way you dress embarrasses everyone around you (they are too polite to call you out) and reflects on your country. It is okay for a festival celebrating anime, but dude dress like an adult.

Hello Mr. jinpimp. My fully Japanese employees and colleagues hold a different opinion. Outside of my professional setting they tell me no problem. They agreed with my wife to skip the fondoshi and happi for casual Friday. Thanks for stopping by though. Any favorite shrine or antique sales that you've been to and like in Japan?

Besides himeji, I think this one was my favorite castle when I went. The town is really small and gives you the time to visit other places in Ueno. The weapon museum inside the castle is incredible.

Do you remember Himeji Castle smelling like feet? No lie, it smells like feet (not in a good way) and the smell got stronger as one climbed up.

I think there's a different level of attentiveness to the crafts. From my casual observation, the Japanese go ALL IN for most hobbies whether it is hiking, fishing, sports, martial arts, crafts, etc. It's really a joy to take it in.
