Quote Japan
Interesting, odd, outrageous or informative quotes about JapanTakeshima- quotes about the controversial island
“One day one of the Korean students asked me if I knew Takeshima, the island in the Sea of Japan that is claimed by both Japan and Korea.

Take it.” Say what you like about the materialism and apathy of Japanese young people, but it is better than the rabid nationalism that the LDP would like to teach them… A Geisha’s Journey pg 13
