My name is Hikosaemon (friends call me "Hiko") and I've been living in Japan for my entire working life now, most of which I have spent working for Japanese people in Japanese. The aim of this blog is to be aimed at people with an intermediate-advanced level of interest/knowledge about Japan, where we can share our insights and experiences of living and working in Japan, learning Japanese, and enjoying the many pleasures of being in Japan, such as photography, gadget shopping, and the odd bit of travel and urban exploring.
