Articles about traditional Japanese events

Posted 2007-01-18 21:38:55 | Comments (1)

I found some English articles about traditional Japanese events in spring on this Japanese website for those who learn English. They explain about new year including 4 small articles as well as coming-of-age day, setsubun and hina-matsuri.

To read the articles, click the link:
http://www.alc.co.jp/eng/feature/070110/02.html

and then click "お正月" at a upper-left corner of a light-pink box in the middle of the page.
Then a new window opens and you can read the article in Japanese and English!
To go to next article, click the link below a red button which reads "音声を聞く".

I never heard about some of those events before, but they seem pretty interesting. That site is also helpful for Japanese learners (those who have intermediate level I guess), thanks to that bilingual article feature.
