24 Festive Tasks, Door 2: November 3rd Japanese Culture Day – Lioness at Large

24 Festive Tasks, Door 2: November 3rd Japanese Culture Day

Reblogged from: Mrs. Claus’ Tea House

 

This is my first game host post!! And to top that, this is a BRAND NEW holiday added to this year’s game. No pressure or anything….*takes a few deep breaths*
 
So if you are like me, growing up in the 1980s, Japan and it’s culture had a real renaissance here in the US. From manga to video games to cuisine, Japan was leading the younger generation in terms of culture and art, much like the Korean Cool phenomenon that happened a few years ago.

Task 1: Tell us about a cultural festival or event in the area where you live.
 
Task 2: Try a flavor of Kit Kat other than chocolate and report back if you liked it.
 
Task 3: Try your hand at folding a paper crane. Instructions: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Paper-Crane-1/
 
Task 4: If you like Japanese food, treat yourself to a favorite dish.
