The continued thread. Or post, more suitable with post. What did I read on the first day of the new year? Oh hon, I read quite a lot.

• “Wagashi”. Aka beautiful, traditional Japanese tea candy.

• Tokyo Hostess Interview Series Part 1. Part-2, Part-3, Part-4, Part-5, Part-6, Part-7. A seven part article about the lives of Japanese hostesses and how the clubs work. I got incredibly caught up in reading this article – it’s fascinating!

• Hosts Set Hearts Beating in Kabukicho Part 1, -2. Basically an article like the one above, just with a male twist (and lots more pictures).

• Geisha. An interesting introduction to the geisha. Not that I haven’t read a lot about them before. Hm, it just hit me – there’s an awful lot of Japanese-related links today!
