Two additional blogs
Jun 17th, 2009 by Ad Blankestijn
As an experiment I have started two new blogs on Blogger/Blogspot:
Japanese Food Dictionary – short posts about Japanese food ingredients, dishes, various types of cuisine etc. I have been writing about Japanese food in Japan Navigator, too, but wanted to make short posts like dictionary entries and thought that had better be separate, at least for the time being.
What Basho never talked about – posts that do not fit on Japan Navigator, for example because they are not about Japan, or are not “serious” enough. The title is a variation on the title of a Chinese collection of ghost stories “What the Master (=Confucius) never talked about” or Zipuyu – subjects not addressed by the Great Sage were of course supernatural things and other sensational or simply not-so-serious items.
