The Japanese Tradition (日本の形)

Just thought that I should say something about this. This is a rather funny series of short clips about Japanese culture. Most, if not all, of the information presented within is fake of course. You can find the videos on youtube, where they are hosted.

The series was produced by a pair of Japanese comedians known as ラーメンズ, who are the two lead characters that keep appearing throughout the series. In total, there are 12 clips that I have seen from this series. They are, tea (お茶), summer holiday (夏休み), dating (交際), dogeza (a form of apology, 土下座), apology (謝罪), festival of the dead (お盆), origami (折り紙), drinking party (宴), sushi (鮨), chopsticks (箸), onigiri (おにぎり), and tejime (some form of clapping pattern that I don't know how to explain, 手締め).

Do try and find them and view them if you have the time! You won't regret it ^^

日本の形って面白いよね!実は最近またニコニコで全シリーズを見た。何度見ても面白くて笑うよ。

実際、今はまだわら過ぎるからお腹がちょっと痛い。はじめに見たのは鮨。そして、一番面白いと思うのは交際。

みなさんも興味と時間があれば見に行こうよ。必ず後悔しないから。
