Okinawa (おきγͺわ) is both the western and southernmost prefecture of Japan, consisting of three main island groups, being the Okinawa Islands, the Sakishima Islands, and the Daito Islands. Known as Japan's tropical paradise, Okinawa is famous for its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and Ryukyu (γ‚Šγ‚…γ†γγ‚…γ†) Heritage. One famous landmark is known as the Shuri Castle in Naha, Okinawa, which was the heart of the Ryukyu kingdom and served as the royal palace. 

Okinawa is also famous for its many festivals, one of the most notable being the Okinawa Zento Eisa Festival, which is held in late summer. The event lasts three days and includes street parades, performances by different eisa groups, and firework shows. γŠγγͺわにいきましょう！

1st Post: Why Japanese?

  こんにけは! Hello! γ‚γŸγ—γ―Wolfe Malloryです! My name is Mallory Wolfe, and I am super excited to be learning Japanese this semester! I have been studying Chinese for many years, starting in high school, and through that experience I have been curious as to how different languages influence one another. Through the overlap with kanji, I have always been interested in Japanese and wanted to learn more about the shared history and overlap between the two languages!  Besides my desire to learn more about the similarities between Chinese and Japanese, I have always loved Japanese culture, especially the fashion and anime aspects. I absolutely adore Japanese fashion, including styles such as the gyaru and jirai kei styles. In both of these styles, I have always admired their bold use of makeup, accessories, and self-expression, which makes each look super creative and unique! As for anime, my favorite genre is shoujo, which are often filled with light hearted stories that focus on emotions ...

16th Post: Listening/Viewing HW

  こんにけは！Today I listened to the song "Ooedo Julia Night (ε€§ζ±ŸζˆΈγ‚Έγƒ₯γƒͺγ‚’γƒŠγ‚€γƒˆ)" written by Mitchie M (γƒŸγƒƒγƒγƒΌ・エム) and sung by the Japanese vocaloids Hatsune Miku ( εˆιŸ³γƒŸγ‚―) and Kaito (γ‚«γ‚€γƒˆ). The song is very fun and energetic, and combines Edo-period Japan with 1990s Japanese club culture. From my understanding, the characters ε€§ζ±ŸζˆΈ mean "Great Edo," which act as a playful name for the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868). The other characters γ‚Έγƒ₯γƒͺγ‚’γƒŠγ‚€γƒˆ mean "Julia night" which is a pun on Juliana's Tokyo, a famous club in the 90s that was associated with extravagant dancing and Juliana fans ( γ‚Έγƒ₯γƒͺ扇), which can be seen in the attached photo.   From my understanding of both Japanese and Chinese (for some kanji) I was able pick out some words and understand some of the song! It was very rewarding! If you would like to listen here is the link!:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3yyYYLyVzw&list=RDy3yyYYLyVzw&start_radio=1
