Back to the future in Japan Part One
The Japanese police have been going round confiscating swords off the common people because only samurai are allowed to have them*
What with the bowing, the seating positions by status, the personal seals, Japan is just as often like going back to the middle ages as it is going into the future- and there is the fun of it. Although my favourite back to the future doesn’t go quite as far back. It’s ”curry rice”, a junk food dish with a flavour I hadn’t tasted since school meals in 1970′s London.
