Hws Japan - Blog Posts
Mr. Japan, hello, please tell me about Sukeban. Have you seen them, have you encountered any of them in person? Did they attack you, or did you witness their robberies and fights?
What is your opinion of their actions?
Ah yes, スケバン/助番.
I remember first seeing them in the 1970s even though they first came around in the 1960s I believe.
They are honestly very distinctive due to their long skirts; I’ve never been robbed by them however I’ve witnessed three of them shoplifting at the Itoya Stationery store in Ginza.
They became so high in number that I had to discuss with the policemen of my country on how to identify them. Some 番長 didn’t accept the sukeban into their groups and that’s what kickstarted a lot of sukeban action however in my opinion in recent times I’ve seen more sukeban than banchō.
Yap, it's really cool here! Only every other person here ends up in a shadow ban for some reason.....
Ah I see. How are you able to tell whether or not you are shadow banned if I may ask?
Mr. Jap, do you like it here on Tumblr? (^.。.^)ﾉ
I am rather fond of Tumblr so far actually. I enjoy interacting with others as well as viewing some art. Do you enjoy Tumblr if I may ask?
見返り美人図
Today I decided to dress and pose as a famous painting: 見返り美人図 otherwise known as Beauty Looking Back.
This painting was a singular stand alone piece made by Hishikawa Moronobu who is mostly known for his innovative ways regarding the method of coloring for ukiyo-e woodblock. This method was very influential due to how my house simply only had black print before then.
To showcase the painting’s popularity even more so, the “Beauty Looking Back” painting was adopted as the pattern for the first Japanese postage stamp after WW2 in 1948.
Oh hi Japan how are you doing? What do you think of going to my farm this weekend? You can bring your dog
@ask-the-swiss-canivet-guy
Greetings. I am doing very well, thank you. I would be honored to go to your farm this weekend. Which day is most convenient for you? I’m sure Pochi-kun would utterly adore your goats.
Pochi and I decided to take a small walk today however Pochi had other plans… we boarded the bus and walked over to the local convenience store for sweet treats and onigiri.
海老も一人では美味しくない
Even sea bream is not delicious when eaten in loneliness.
This proverb is especially true when I am with Pochi. Tonight we ate together at a restaurant; it was rather enjoyable.

Speaking of Christmas time, I wish to ask you a question personally if that is quite alright with you, America. Ever since 1974, KFC has become a beloved Christmas time meal for families across my island. Due to this, I was wondering if KFC is a widespread Christmas tradition for your people considering that you are the founding nation of KFC?
It's funny, kids get presents from their dads who sometimes dress up as Santa – and Finland once told me I could think of him as my papa – so if I were to think of him that way, then my dad really WOULD be Santa!
He'd be way more convincing with a beard, though. 🤔
Salutations. I am 日本国 otherwise known as the state of Japan by my colleagues or simply Honda Kiku by those whom I am familiar with.
Many people know me for my cuisine, sumo wrestling, samurai, onsens, and anime however I wish to share my culture as well as expand my horizons on the customs of other countries through this app.
Please do feel free to send in asks; I will try my best to answer them with punctuality however if I fail I do so I apologize in advance.
A Little About Me:
Birthday: February 11th which is my national foundation day. In 660 BCE, Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne and unifying my people as one nation: Japan.
My Favorite Food: I am very fond of vegetables especially when they are pickled, fermented, and salty. I am also fond of sushi, shiozake, nimono, tsukemono to a large extent.
My Hobbies: I enjoy exercise such as walking, baseball, making preserved food, working with my hands on 2D and 3D taking care of Pochi-kun, and sunbathing. My newest hobby is challenging myself to cook dishes from every country (they will most likely be adapted in a respectful manner to suit my own personal taste).
My Companions: My beloved Shiba Inu named Pochi, my cat who is addressed as Tama, my Guinea pig named Haru, and my pet rabbit who is named Yuki.
Drew the three sillies! X3

JIRAI KEI! JAPAN!
I hope i did the jirai kei style justice (especially since idk much about it except that it originated from Kabukichō)
Just a simple drawing, make sure to credit me if you use this (please).
Funny Ameripan scenario
Japan always seems so uninterested when visiting America in their home country. They always seem so neutral about everything, even the cool monuments. But, the MOMENT America goes to Japan in their home country America finds a room FILLED with American stuff. This is how America finds out that Japan is a complete westaboo and secretly buys assortments of American stuff.
Ameripan is so interesting because I feel like Alfred/Amelia would tiptoe around being fully romanticly open while Kiku/Sakura would be so blatant about it. Like Alfred/Amelia would bring Kiku/Sakura chocolates and be like "Hey, if you ever wanna hang out, I'm free for the next 3 days!" And Kiku/Sakura would be like "Ah, I see. Our date will be tomorrow at 8am. Do not be late, America." And It would catch Alfred/Amelia off guard so badly because they aren't used to being so forward all the time.
I forgot to show you what I had done this summer!
I tried to practice my skills, specifically drawing emotions, and...tha is the result. do not ask me why The Screecher. you would better not to play this game if you want to sleep well at night.
Us Americans are required to do so.
Slay. TY to my pookie for inspiring me to make this by finding this post on Quora 😛

Some headcanons for America/Canada
• He is fluent in almost every language and his pronunciation is perfect.
•Canada is the only one who knows this. He also knows that America never speaks the languages because no matter what the other countries will insult him on anything and everything he does. Canada knows it affects America a lot, but he pretends it doesn’t. The “Hero” personality is mostly a front in many ways.
•Among the languages America uses regularly is ASL. America unconsciously signs when his emotions are extreme, good or bad, and on occasion when he’s in deep thought. He likes to sign along to songs. He doesn’t really notice he’s doing it.
•Canada is fluent in ASL. He can gauge his brothers mood based on this.
•They use ASL to communicate when they don’t want the other countries to know what they’re talking about. (It drives the other countries absolutely crazy.)
•If you ask America what his favorite movie is he’ll say Captain America (anything Marvel actually) or The Princess Bride. His real favorite movies are, Saving Mr. Banks, Steel Magnolias, Lilo and Stitch, and Up. He will never admit to liking those movies or to having seen any of them.
•America suffers from BPD, ADHD, BP-2. He’s lived with it his whole life. He learned early on how to hide it and lives by the motto “Fake it til you make it.” That’s why his “hero” persona seems forced sometimes. (Only England and Canada know about this. They don’t really talk about it. America doesn’t know that they know.)
•America loves that he now has a friend group! The Awesome trio just goofs around and just has fun together.
•America’s favorite person to spend time with is England. He will drop everything or bail on any other plans he has in order to spend some time with England.
•He doesn’t express his emotions well and doesn’t really know how to tell the people in his life that he loves them. He tries to do acts of kindness to show how much he cares.
•Affection is his love language. Loves hugs and cuddles ect. But only does that with people he loves and trusts completely. (England, Canada, Japan)
I have more but I will save those for another day.
*As a side note, the ASL stuff is actually something I do and those disorders I listed are my own diagnoses. If you read about them or you look up common symptoms, you’ll get why I picked them for him, or at least I hope you will.
I draw all the time while taking notes in class. So why not post some of them? Classic doodling in class~ 📝
