Japanese Popular Culture: The Fascinating Blend Of Past And Present
Japanese popular culture is a fascinating blend of past and present. You can tell this simply by looking at Japanese animation, or Japanese anime, as it is called.

Japanese anime is a confluence of many of the motifs of ancient Japanese art and Western cartoons and comic books. Speaking of comic books, one of the most popular forms of Japanese pop culture to reach Western shores in the recent memory is Japanese manga, or Japanese comic books.

Next, do your homework by comparing different vacation package options.
