This is the samurai culture of Syudou　衆道, what the topic of today's episode

JJJapan 39 How many hours are you actually spending learning Japanese?

Its ramble time, this time on learning, and the most important part is putting in the time in the most effective way.

That's doing the thing you are learning. And with Japanese that spending time with the language

Who made EVANGELION?  

Anno Hideaki. 庵野秀明

 In today's JJJapan podcast, I talk about the life of the director of the anime epic EVANGELION. 

The final movie is still showing in cinemas in Japan, so its a good time to take about the mind behind it. 

As Anno Hideaki's life, is Evangelion, no literally his life crazily resembles the story of Evangelion.

JJJapan 37 The new lady of the 5000 yen note, Tuda umeko

Tsuda Umeko 津田梅子

When she was 6 she was sent on exchange to America in 1871 one of the first 5 female exchange students from Japan.

She then made it her life's work to improve female education in Japan and through doing so established Tsuda University a well-rounded university in Tokyo.

Could not think of a more worthy lady to be on the new 5000 yen note, printing starts in 2024
