Our "Two Minute Japan" pages are intended to provide a quick look at interesting features of Japan's past and present. These pages are not definitive examinations of trends, events, or individuals, but are snapshots, often comparative, of life in Japan. Teachers are encouraged to use them as "openers" to capture student interest and to stimulate discussion.

We plan to add to this collection of pages on a regular basis and we welcome suggestions on additional topics. Please send your comments and suggestions to Clayton Dube.
