 Notes to Bird Glossary - Japanese orthography
Japanese possesses a complicated writing system, but possibly nowhere does it reach such complexity as it does in bird, animal and plant names.
To write the Japanese words in the first column, the Japanese turned to the equivalent birds in Chinese (Chinese meaning and pronunciation shown in columns 4 and 5).
The Japanese may have lacked a name for these birds or the Japanese name was superseded by the Chinese for some reason.

English and Japanese have very different articulatory settings; therefore, it may be difficult to gain high levels of proficiency in the pronunciation of one of the languages with the previously developed articulatory setting of the other language.
On the other hand, in Japanese pronunciation the average position of the tongue is quite far back in the mouth, with the body of the tongue shaped to the roof of the mouth, dorsum somewhat raised, and tip behind the lower front teeth.
Japanese learners of English may need to be made aware of the fact that double consonants usually do not result in a doubling of the sound in English.

Japanese food being a treat for the eyes as well as the palate, it was presented with an artful display of long, thin strips of carrot and barely cooked asparagus.
The room is simple, almost spare, in Japanese style, with beige walls and light oak, paper shoji screens and a couple of large potted plants.
Japanese fare doesn't really call for Western table wines, and Sapporo's wine list is appropriately short, mostly mass-market stuff in an appropriately low price range from $10 to $20.

 Session 101:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Gender studies specialists have persisted in viewing Japanese women as the subjects of state ideology—the constrained victims of Confucianism or the dutiful housewives of state-led capitalist development.
Describing ways in which a close examination of Japanese housewives’ contribution to Japan’s economic and political structures can inform an understanding of even national level political dynamics, this paper will argue that studies of women or gender differences should no longer be relegated to "women’s studies" panels, symposia and journals.
The postwar state is a repository of a Japanese sense of rootedness and a commitment to managerial expertise, both middle class virtues.

 BACK TO SHERWOOD: TONY LEE TALKS ROBIN HOOD: OUTLAW'S PRIDE - NEWSARAMA
Robin Of Sherwood was my favourite show as a kid (followed by Maid Marrion And Her Merry Men a few years later!), Herne The Hunter was (and still is) one of the most visually amazing characters I've seen.
The earliest mention of Robin Hood is in a 1347 text called Piers Ploughman, in which a character mentions that he knows "rimes of Robin Hood." However, the earliest actual text dates from arounf 1500, and is collected in the great compendium by Francis James Child, The English and Scottish Popular Ballads..
In it, Robin lives in Barnesdale Forest, not Sherwood; he is simply an outlaw from the start, a poacher of the king's deer, NOT a returning nobleman from the war.

 Robin Garr's Louisville Restaurant Guide / Fuji Japanese Steakhouse
And when it comes to the Japanese hibachi-grill and steakhouse genre, which seems to be filling up the city's eastern stretches with a new outlet of one chain or another in just about every suburban shopping center, I'd rank the sushi bar as the one feature that makes these otherwise near-identical franchises worth a visit.
Inside the redbrick storefront you'll find the standard Japanese steakhouse setup: A separate section of the room is set off by a maplewood divider to house the hibachi tables where groups of eight watch Japanese actor/chef's slicing, dicing and setting things on fire.
Simply furnished in the traditional japanese style, it's an alcove of shiny, blond maplewood draped with dark-blue and white banners loaded with Japanese kanji characters, and uniformed sushi chefs ready with sharp knives and sushi tools behind clear-glass cases holding a fishmonger's delight of fresh fish, shellfish and vegetables.
