Found Intersting Japanese Culture Articles

Well, I was surfing the web today and I found all these interesting Japanese articles. I love Japanese Culture and I have never been to Japan. Shame on me. I think Japanese culture is very interesting. Having grown up watching Japanese Anime, Japanese Manga, which are the coolest cartoons in my opinion, I fell in love with the Japanese culture at a very young age. In high school, most of my English writings were Japanese related like Japanese Kendo, Japanese Ukiyo-e. Then last year, the movie about a Japanese Geisha came out, Memoirs of a Geisha which I thought was absolutely spetacular. Anyways, below is a list of Japanese Culture articles I thought people mind find interesting:

Japanese Alphabet
Japanese Hair Straightening: All You Ever Wanted to Know
Japanese Language
Japanese Pronunciation
Sumo Wrestling
Why Do Japanese Have Long Lifespan?

I hope you enjoy your readings and insights.
