I’m in the US. Milford Delaware to be more accurate. The humor in this is really fun. i’m doing a school project and i have to descirbe life in another country. I chose Japan. since i’m in High school and everyone here complains about the new uniforms and things like that I wanted to show my class the things Japanese schools do compared to ours. This has really helped me. Thank you.

I live in Brookville, Ohio, north of Dayton, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio.
I was in Japan, Sapporo and Sendai, from 1953 through the summer of 1956. And I went to all the tourist spots from Matsushima to Kamakura. I did take a lot of photographs and got thousands more from fellow soldiers who were stationed there during the occupation. Japan was all but destitute then and most families didn’t own much. Most of the trees were gone from repeated fire-bombings. I found your blog several years ago and loved it then and just found the link again today, January 5, 2012. You have a wonderful blog. I hope people will appreciate your efforts for many years to come.

Thank you for all the high quality photos of the schools in Japan. I hope it is alright that i use some for reference drawing for the interiors of the classrooms. I am aspiring to create an accurately represented setting for the manga I plan to submit. I’ve visited a Japanese school when I was in 11th grade myself, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you also for bringing that wave of nostalgial back.

Haii!!
I just happened to stumble upon your blog by accident and i must admit it was truly captivating!!
Your experience in Japan looks very exciting and im jealous that you were abel to explore one of the daily routines of such an amazing culture. Im from New-Zealand but i live in Australia, and i have been to China at one point for a culture tour, and will be returning this year to attend university. You blog looks really interesting!!! And so exciting. I’ve always wondered what the schools were like in Japan. I heard they were very very strict, but you showed me a side of the school which surrounds the students in a happy and exciting manner!
Lucky you for being able to experience such a thing

Konichiwa Mr. Friedl.
I was really excited of reading this blog of yours its really interesting. I’m not Japanese but I am very interested in Japan. My mother has studied in Japan in her college days. Ever since I heard and researched about Japan I have always been interested in going to Japan when i’m in college just like my mom ^^. Of course i’ll have to study Japanese and learn their history also. Its going to be hard since im a Philippino but im really looking foward to it. Also I wouldnt have to pay for tutoring because I have my mom. She’s VERY smart so im really excited. I’m living in the U.S right now but soon i’ll be in Japan. Thank You for making this blog Mr. Friedl. It will also be cool if in the time you went to Japan you could’ve been also taking pictures around Japan to see their social surroundings. Well again Thank You Mr. Friedl.
Arigato Guzimasu(Thank You) Mr. Friedl

I’m from the U.S. but have a deep passion for Japanese culture. In fact I love that I found this because one day I hope to teach English as a second language in Japan. These are some really cool pictures and you have a lot of good info on here. Thanks!

I was randomly looking up Japanese clothing styles to show my friends and came across your blog. This past summer I got to do things through an exchange program much like what you got to experience. I don’t really know the purpose of writing this, but I just wanted to say that I miss Japan so much, and looking at these pictures really reminded me of my trip and how much I loved it there. It looks almost identical to the school I visited, in Kyoto, and I just wanted to say thank you for posting this blog. ..and I live in LA.
