Japanese culture

After 1662 entries, the Everything Japanese Encyclopedia became too big to fit in a single volume. After much deliberation, it was decided that the EJE would be broken up into separate tomes; this is one of those.

This portion of the EJE is devoted to all aspects of Japanese culture that make that society what it is. Certain portions of that culture have been placed in their own nodes, such as Japanese Art, Japanese Literature, Religion in Japan, and Japanese Myths and Legends. If, during your wanderings through the nodegel, you spot a node that has been overlooked by the watchful eyes of the Encyclopedists, drop me a /msg.

Thanks!
