Halloween is basically upon us, so today I bring you a bit of a different post from my usual ones to set the right mood. I have a weird relationship with horror films—just like with chocolate, haha—I’m generally not a big fan but I’ll still watch them from time to time. The same goes for video games… You’ll never find me play one—I’m genuinely too scared—but I won’t hide that I like watching others play them.
I first came to hear of Lafcadio Hearn during my visit at the “Fantasmi e Spiriti del Giappone” exhibition, as the tales depicted in Benjamin Lacombe's book are inspired by Hearn’s stories. Today, I will be sharing my impressions of Hearn's book In Ghostly Japan.
It’s been a really long time since I read a manga. However, I recently decided to get back on track and be active on NetGalley again, and this manga caught my eye immediately. I mean with a title like That Time the Manga Editor Started a New Life in the Countryside, how could I not be interested?
Since I became passionate about Japanese culture, I’ve been interested in Lady Murasaki Shikibu’s The Tale of Genji for quite some time, so I’m really glad I was finally able to read it.
Today is a very special day for different reasons—which I'll get to in a moment—so I wanted to celebrate with a different ZenPop post!
Sunscreen? Check. Beachwear? Check. A new Japanese snack box full of delicious and refreshing treats by the one and only ZenPop? Absolutely check!!
It's Matsuri season! If you—like me—aren't able to experience a Matsuri festival, don't worry, because ZenPop made sure that we're able to enjoy this aspect of Japanese culture with the delicious snacks in this month's box!
New month, new ZenPop Snack box! Oh, wait, what's this? A brand new design and a new booklet? That's amazing!
It's that time of the year again, the time to get mesmerised by everything that Asian culture has to offer. And boy, if it was a whole lot!
The cherry blossoms have bloomed, Spring has brought some sunny days, and ZenPop is taking us on a trip to a beautiful city full of history and good food.
You know by now that I am very fond of Japanese culture, but what you probably don't know is that I'm also very fond of Japanese myths, legends, and folklore. And that's what I'm going to talk about today.
I'm back with another K-Pop unboxing, just like I promised! This time it's Super Junior D&E The 1st Album COUNTDOWN, and I'm really excited!
Ahhh, it's finally Spring... You know what it means, right? That ZenPop is at it with a brand new Japanese snack box, and this time is all about the cherry blossoms!
I'm going to talk about something a little different today, as this has a really special meaning to me. If you follow me on social media (Twitter especially), you'll know that my current favourite K-pop group is Super Junior.
February is the month of love, and because I LOVE Zenpop so much, I'm sharing a double dose of their wonderful Japanese snacks with you, my lovely readers! I'm sure you'll particularly enjoy their current theme, so why don't you go ahead and discover what it is?
By now you should know how fond of Zenpop I am, their treats are simply delicious and I don't have anthing but praises for them! Even more so now that they've introduced a new Japanese Snack Box!
Happy New Year!!! We're almost halfway through the first month of 2023 and I'm here with Zenpop (who kindly *sponsored* this blog post and sent me a free Japanese Sweets Pack to review)
