Makoto #18 - Clay Boutwell
Introduction
ご購入こうにゅう
ありがとう
ございます。
Thank you so much
for your purchase!
Most things in Japan, when compared to elsewhere—especially Texas! —are small. Want a large soda? Expect an American-sized small and if you are over six-feet-tall, get ready to duck when entering old houses.
But they have Texas-sized things too. When I first arrived in Japan in the late nineties, I stepped out of my apartment to find my trash, which I had left neatly stacked outside, torn into. Trash—my trash—was everywhere. I asked a neighbor if a dog had somehow climbed the stairs to the second floor and had fun with it. She shook her head and said, Karasu! Karasu!
and then flapped her wings, I mean, arms. I learned a new word that day. Karasu means crow
and the crows in Japan are HUGE.
Well, in today’s reader, Yumi will teach us about another HUGE critter of Japanese wildlife.
