forgetting the fact that EN readers are subject to 50% more rules (the last 3 EN rules are basically the last JA rule), interesting that they allow only JA readers to use the bath _before_ drinking.

seeing a lot of these "japanese first" (not "japan first", mind you) campaign posters. interesting that sanseito reached right-wing/anti-vax product market fit years before MAGA/MAHA did.

in herndon, virginia to see about a bench. ten years ago BrooklynJS bought this bench to honor the folks who inspired us to create the best little community i’ve ever been a part of, and i finally made the trip to see it.

distilling french cognac (ooh), finishing in japanese oak (ahh), and then… branding it like a bad kanji tattoo?
