Japanese people

The topic is Japanese people.


I was born and brought up in Japan, so I think the Japanese people I know the most are my family. Let me write a little bit about my family.


In the first photo, my family is having dinner. Today's dinner is sukiyaki.


We have meals with sitting on the floor. I think lots of Japanese people like sitting on the floor when they have meals. A pot is set in center of the table, and my sisters are putting vegitables and meat into the pot.

The man sitting in front of TV is my father. He is working for a construction company. After he came back to home and took a bath, he drinks a can of beer. That is one of his pleasure.

My mother is a houseworker. She is into Korean dramas now like other middle-aged women.

My family has four children, and I am the oldest girl. My younger sisters really like watching foreign movies. They often go to TSUTAYA together and rent some DVDs.


This is my brother. He looks relaxed and seems to be falling into a sleep on the massaging chair.

By the way, the TV show we were watching this evening was interesting. The show is "笑ってコラえて". You can watch it on Channel 10 from 8 p.m. on every Wednesday. I am sure it shows real Japanese people.

Our topic this week is "Japanese People," or more specifically how we as anthropologist go about representing a group of people. As a native anthropologist you have the opportunity to present "your people." And you do it quite nicely by introducing us to your family. I think foreign students should be interested in your post, especially if they don't live in a home-stay. I saw a lot of my previous host family in your post.

Can you provide a little information about the link you provide. Remember, the assumed audience for our blogs is English speaking. So can you describe and summarize the tv show you link to?
