Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm from Spain, I'm very interested in japanese history (13th century to 1945) and his culture and art, I would like to chat with someone interested in these matters or in spanish history (would be interesting exchange knowledges about!).

Also I could help if you want to learn or improve your spanish (and surely I could learn a little japanese, currently I've some problems to buy in yahoo auctions japan...a small help would be welcome ).

If you want to talk, just send me a MP!

Best regards
Victor

Hi Thomas,

Thanks! well, for me the most interesting periods are samurai wars on 16th century and maybe the early 20th century and WWII.

Welcome! ^___^

If you are interested in Japanese history, are you also interested in Japanese castles?

If you're also interested in ninja, then I highly recommend visiting Iga-Ueno when you come to Japan!
I was really fascinated!

Here's a short video of when I went there years ago:

Oh, good video! I'd like visit Japan of course, now it looks not possible in the near future, but I'm now reading about samurai armours and weapons for visit museums about there, also I'm a collector of decorations (phaleristic), one of the worlds more beautiful orders are the japanese ones of early XX century, I think I could write something about for the forum...
