현대 일본의 생활 2!

Whether you became interested in learning more about Japanese culture after watching anime, reading manga or a trip to Japan for vacation, or whether you simply enjoy learning about different cultures around the world, any of this set of four Life in Modern Japan classes is a great place to start. You can take any singular class series from one to four or a combination, they do not have to be taken in sequence! They can serve as a supplement to a homeschool social studies curriculum, or be taken just for fun!

In Life in Modern Japan 2, our topics will be Japanese food, religion, customs, and fun & games.
In week one, we will learn about what kinds of foods are often eaten in Japan, both in everyday life and for special occasions. Some of them will probably be very familiar, and some might surprise you!
In week two, we will learn about religious beliefs and practices in Japan, mostly focusing on cultural aspects of religion in day to day life and the beauty of some religious sites that have been visited for around a thousand years and are still used by the general public today!
In week three, we will learn about some customs and traditions that you may notice if you are watching a Japanese film.
In week four, we will learn what kinds of games kids play growing up in Japan, and what people do to relax and have fun.
