(38,187 posts)I have always wanted to visit Japan to do the usual tourist stuff and to check out the woodworking. I've always loved Sashimono woodworking. My aunt was stationed in Japan back when she was a WAC in the US Army. She brought back gifts from friends and wow, the woodworking is amazing. She was also given a seppuku knife by her Japanese host family. Apparently, they had host families back then. I'm not sure how it works now. She gave most of that stuff to me when I started showing an interest in Japanese stuff.
I have always wanted to visit Japan, but I doubt I could live there even if I wanted to. I heard it is very expensive compared to the US. I live in a rural area in the US and it is cheap to live here compared to the rest of the US. So, I could never afford it.
