Japanese Gardens & Cherry Blossoms

Japanese Paradise Gardens (also known as a Pure Land Garden) were introduced during the Heian Period by Buddhist monks and devotees of the Amida sect. The garden consists of a pond with lotus flowers, trees, islands, a bridge, and a large Buddhist pavilion, and resembles a Buddhist paradise

The idea of Japanese gardens began to spread during the Asuka period (6th to 7th century), during which Japan widely adopted Chinese culture and Buddhism. Japanese merchants were heavily influenced and inspired by these new ideas, and so brought back many aspects of Chinese culture to Japan

I think the gardens are beautiful and I would love to visit a real Japanese garden. cherry blossoms are also beautiful and smell so good!

Samurai were hereditary military warriors of medieval and early-modern Japan. Although abolished in 1876 they still held some of their beliefs. For example, in WWII when the Japanese deployed Kamikaze pilots against American warships this showed the samurai mindset of dying for the country and dying with honor. I personally find samurai pretty cool although what they went through was pretty messed up. To learn how to endure pain and suffering young samurai would march barefoot in snow on long journeys and held stiff postures for hours without complaining.

geishas have been a part of the Japanese culture for centuries, they are trained in dance and music, and other entertainment skills. they use their skills to entertain parties or men. now they are seen more like prostitutes than anything.

i think geishas are super cool

Manga-
Manga is a Japanese comic book/graphic novel, that mostly conforms to a style created in Japan in the late 19th century.
It is a big part of the culture in Japan it's a big influence on youth on subculture and provides culture entertainment. It is also a big way Japan sees itself and presents itself.  I think that manga is very interesting, and a good way to get a look into some Japanese culture and life in Japan.

The samurai trace their origins to the Heian Period campaigns to subdue the native Emishi people in the Tohoku Region. Around the same time, warriors were increasingly hired by wealthy landowners that had grown independent of the central government and built armies for their own protection.
