Fukai Nihon 深い日本 - Shades from Japan

Yesterday I attended a meeting organized by the DEAI association of Genoa which showed an overview of the relationship between manga and how they tell the story. How events, battles and characters are often taken up (and sometimes recontextualised) to give strength to the story of the work. Elements that help to make known the history and culture of such a fascinating country as Japan.

プリンセス トヨトミ, or "Princess Toyotomi", a 2011 Japanese film directed by Masayuki Suzuki 鈴木雅之. The plot revolves around three inspectors from the Audit Office that visit Osaka and discover an incredible secret passed down in this city.

Kyushu is a territory that always reserves great surprises, although it does not have large cities like Tokyo or Osaka it is full of history and incredible landscapes. Among these is Nobeoka, one of the places where I stopped the longest and which left pleasant memories in my mind.

Japanese culture is rich in unique traditions and social nuances, many of which are reflected in interpersonal relationships. One of these is the unique and particular relationship that is created between Senpai and Kohai. This system of relationships is deeply rooted in Japanese society and is reflected in various areas, including schools/universities, companies, associations/clubs and in society.
