         <description><![CDATA[ Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture and the largest city of the Chugoku Region, the westernmost region on Japan's main island of Honshu. It is home to about one million people. 
On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was chosen by US armed forces as the first ever target of an atomic bomb employed over a populated area. As a result, 200,000 civilians lost their lives, and Hiroshima became a city vehemently engaged in the promotion of peace. 
Hiroshima's Peace Park including the memorial museum, and the island of Miyajima (literally: shrine island), located 40 minutes from the city center by train and ferry, are among Japan's most interesting tourist attractions

The Peace Memorial Museum graphically displays the atomic bomb's horrible effects on the city and its (...) ]]></description>

The origin of the yakuza is a matter of some debate.Â  Some feel that its members are descendents of the 17th-century kabuki-mono (crazy ones), outlandish samurai who reveled in outlandish clothing and hair styles, spoke in elaborate slang, and carried unusually long swords in their belts.Â  The kabuki-mono were also known as hatamoto-yakko (servants of the shogun).Â  During the Tokugawa era, an extended period of peace in Japan, the services of these samurai were no longer needed, and so they became leaderless ronin (wave men).Â  Without the guidance of a strong hand, they eventually shifted their focus from community service to theft and mayhem.
Modern yakuza members refute this theory and instead proclaim themselves to be the descendents of the machi-yokko (servants of (...) ]]></description>

         <title>Saké</title>

         <description><![CDATA[ by PatriciaÂ HellerIf there is any alcoholic beverage more misunderstood that Sake, I know not what it is. And, I speak from experience. The first time I had it, undoubtedly in a Japanese restaurant many years ago, was the last (I likened it to rubbing alcohol, which I admit I haven't tasted), until recently, when I spotted a variety of sakes (at a variety of prices) in a local Japanese market. I had driven by it for years and my decision to take a look not only revealed a plethora of wonderful foods, but allowed me to discover the pleasure of a long-disdained drink.
The cool news: These high-end sakes are meant to be drunk over ice, or at least chilled. Depending on what you get (tasting several is the only way to go, since each of you will taste them differently), some actually (...) ]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[ 
What has become a Japanese culinary art with delicious flavor and colorful form, actually evolved from very meager beginnings. In the 7th century, Southeast Asians introduced the technique of pickling. The Japanese acquired this same practice which consisted of packing fish with rice. As the fish fermented the rice produced a lactic acid which in turn caused the pickling of the pressed fish. Nare-Sushi is 1300 years old and refers to the finished edible product resulting from this early method. 
However, due to its lengthy process, anywhere from 2 months to a year, an altered form appears through the 15th and 16th centuries. Nama-Nare refers to this more rapid process of pickling which cut the fermentation time while including the rice as part of the meal. Ancient sushi such as, (...) ]]></description>

            In Japan at first sight everything seems familiar, it looks like Europe or the USA. It is Asia, but you can drink the water out of the tap. Electricity is no problem, no black outs or brown outs. Busses and trains run on time. There is no need to bribe officials to get everyday things done. It looks like home away from home but smaller and cleaner. The latest fashions arrive at the same time as in Europe and the youth cultures all have their counterparts, looking their part. That is all at first sight like I said.When I was in Kyoto in 1992 I was looking for a place to go for a rock (...) ]]></description>

Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - Early Spring
The plum orchard was very bare and a bit sad when we last went to this garden late in autumn.Â  Now though it is absolutely glorious with the blossom in full bloom.Â  Luckily we went to the garden quite early in the morning as it gets mobbed later on.Â  Lots of keen photographers!Â  Viewing the plum is quite a popular pastime in Japan, though not as much as the famous cherry blossom.
