I’m Shogo, a Kyoto born and Hiroshima raised Japanese, that grew up in Michigan America for 6 years, and studied Mandarin in Beijing university for a year! I live in Kyoto, as I train in Kobudo (katana/staff/chain ball), Sadō (tea ceremony), Noh theatre, and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute). My dream is "to make all Japan lovers' dreams come true" by carrying on Japanese traditional culture to the next century.

In this channel, you can take a closer look at Japanese traditional culture, tips on traveling to Kyoto, and social problems in Japan. So learners and lovers of Japanese language and culture, be sure to subscribe to enjoy more content (The content of my videos are based on personal studies and experience. There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects).
