Have you been invited by your Japanese friends to their houses (in Japan) before? If you have the chance to visit their house, you may find some unique things that you won't see elsewhere.

For example some Japanese houses may still have 畳 (tatami), thick Japanese straw mats that cover the floor, in some of the rooms.

In fact, the way how the Japanese measure the size of their rooms is by using counter of tatami mats, or 畳 (jou). (Note: same kanji but different pronunciation).

Rooms that were completely laid with tatami are known as 座敷 (zashiki).

Another thing you may find in a Japanese house will be the use of 布団 (futon), a traditional Japanese-style bedding, for sleeping. This padded mattress can be folded and stored in the 押入れ (oshiire) which is a closet, so that the room can be used for other purposes during the day.

Kazoku

KAZOKU

(FAMILY)

The Japanese word for family is kazoku. The way to say it phonetically, is "kah-zoh-koo".

If you wanted to ask someone how his or her family is doing, you'd ask "Go-kazoku wa dou desu ka".

If you wanted to ask someone how big his or her family is, just say Go-kazoku wa nan-nin imasu ka.

My family consist of 8 people, otousan, okaasan, oneesan, otouto and imouto.

We love each other and now, when I am writing this, I actually with my obaasan😁. I have a gap exam now, so I use the time to visit my obaasan before I start my last two paper...huhuuu😭😭😭

HAIKU

HAIKU

If we have poems, japanese people have haiku with them.

A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. 

Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.
