I'm fond of Japanese cinema. I always have liked Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Kobayashi, Seijun Suzuki, and numerous other classic directors as well as more contemporary filmmakers like Shinya Tsukamoto, Shunji Iwai, Takashi Miike, Masato Harada, and Naomi Kawase.

The japanese language

Food.

they've got some great musicians there although I'm mostly into their entry tier stuff

taiko, tea ceremony, literature/poetry, movies, music, language, food, religion, etc.
ironically I like most Japanese things besides anime, manga, or video games and just come here for 2hu posting and the movie/tv threads

JAV

>Tokusatsu (mostly Kamen Rider)
>日本語
>Japanese culture (particularly the general way they treat each other)
>Food (especially Ramen)
>Music
>General acting method

>>20868852
Kendo, Tea Ceremony, and Noh theater. They originated in Korea.

Names. Being chink I think our surnames are dull. Mine is 孙 (simplified) which means grandson. Nips have wacky ass names like 神川 which means God River and shit like 田中 which means Paddy field Middle, probably means a peasant. The Japanese names are less interesting compared to their surnames though. Dull crap like 花子、桜、太、早人。

>>20868852
Architecture and design!

One of the few times when 3D > 2D

>>20868852
Pretty much nothing. I don't get what's interesting about 3D modern Japan.

Old Buddhist art, calligraphy, mahjong, Japanese curry, cities in general, convenience stores

There is something strangely romantic about basic Japanese suburbs

I'm just a retard who likes listing things using greentext. Bad habit

jdramas even if it's mostly recycled trash

Kendo, cinema, literature (Mishima is one of my favourite authors), folk tales, mythology, shrines, military music, warships and warplanes, ukiyoe, ink paintings

>>20870751
Desolated vending machines at night feel very dreamlike desu Nice aesthetics

they have really good public transportation and i love that shit

>>20870956

Agreed

Particularly the ones that are in isolated locations yet continue functioning and being resupplied despite their location have charm

Porn mostly

I like to listen to Enka while drinking sake.

>>20871021

A small box on the right is probably a condom vending machine.

Food
Kyudo(Archery)
Model Kits
Traditional Clothes/ Patterns and Design
Architecture and general household items like kotatsu, futon, and tatami.
Sense of organization. Stores are usually very neat and organized.

pro wrestling

they got big meaty boys chopping the shit out of each other

Most all traditional things (poetry, art, etc.)
Most of the original features of the landscape (shrines, telephone poles, vending machines, etc.)
Movies and music (of all kinds, pretty much, though I don't follow idols outside of their music)
Customs and manners, grand-scale values for the most part (a lot of which are hard to even put into words)

Otaku stuff I don't know anything about includes Idols, Variety/Game Shows, Tokusatsu/Kaijuu, Trains/Ships/etc., and Martial Arts. Most other otaku stuff I like even if I'm not the most well-versed in it.

I don't know a lot about Japanese philosophy like the Kyoto School, but I'd like to look into it because eastern philosophy, particularly that of Buddhist thinkers, is one of my great interests. I always express my love for Nāgārjuna on /lit/.

I like pretty much all Japanese food I've had that isn't spicy (I'm a pussy who can't handle it... despite growing up in Texas with barbecue and Mexican cuisine). Though a lot of wagashi like anko can be overwhelmingly sweet to me and I've never liked curry, personally.

>>20869704
You have very good taste. Though I've always found Kobayashi underwhelming compared to the other big names you've listed there, if still solid of course. Have you seen the 2013 movie Iya Monogatari? I think you'd like it. Stunning (though subtle and quiet) nature imagery somewhat comparable to Kawase.

I like the koi/goldfish culture they've got over there. Love those cute things.

>>20868852
Japan, PERIOD

>>20870861

>>20870507

I like idols, music, TV and movies. The food is great too, plus model kits are cool.

Remember this is /jp/ - Otaku Culture, not /weeb/ - Japanese Bullshit. Please do not start threads about things not relevant to otaku culture as it is thought of in the western sense.

old samurai movies, weird things that isnt available outside of japan, jav.

>>20868852
Geography, including their unique architecture - past or present. You can't find it anywhere else and it cannot be replicated outside of Japan.

Call me crazy, but there's this strange sense of comfort in Japan. I'm aware it's far from paradise, but knowing it's generally safe to your average commoner, and seeing how clean their environments are is endearing for someone in Northern America where people often don't care for or don't concern themselves with the environment.
