Thank you for supporting our quest to better understand Japan and Japanese culture. After defining the culture through the current pictures on the site, we have now asked the students to complete another task.
Students have been asked to take pictures of adaptations and modifications people make in Japan living near the 'Ring of Fire'. As a grade level, we started this project by building the strongest structures possible and then simulating earthquakes. Now, we want to see real examples.
Add comments or questions in English or Japanese in order to help us really understand the adaptations or modifications people have made to survive near the 'Ring of Fire'.

Japanese FUROSHIKI
I have found some interesting thing about the Japanese handkerchief is called "FUROSHIKI". Furoshiki is used by Japanese from long time ago, maybe from Edo period?? The way to use it is very simple, just put the thing in the middle and tie up the 1 corner to another, and then same to others.
It is very convenient and beautiful.
