I bought this tenugui at the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku. It has 24 things that were chosen to represent Japan such as cherry blossoms, Mt. Fuji, green tea, etc.

Do you think these things represent the Japan you know? If you could choose 5 things to represent Japan, what would they be? Are there things that are NOT on this tenugui that you think represent Japan?

I found this in front of a restaurant in Gujo-Hachiman, Gifu-ken. Do you want to eat fried Gojira and friend Mothra????

Do you like Gojira movies? In America Gojira is very famous.

Trivia Question: What is the meaning of the name "Gojira"?
