How do you make your own fundoshi underwear?
- 1 answer
I was interested in this as well so I did some digging. There are a number of good websites on this topic but very few of them give you everything you need, specifically I found it difficult to determine how much cloth to use. From what I can tell you need about 2 metres (7 feet) of fabric with a width between 6 and 12 inches (depending on how much coverage you want, how "skimpy" you want it do be, the size of...what you're covering... etc. Here is a website with instructions on tying one.

What do Japanese teenagers like?
- 1 answer
Anime! Try Full metal Alchemist or Naruto or Bleach. Maybe even Higurashi no naku koro ni!!
Since this is under food, I'm assuming you mean food-wise. Like in most places, children eat what they were raised on, and like most of the things their parents make, which would be a rice-staple diet with fish as the most common thing to go with it. Treats are mainly sweet or salty. Buns with sweet filling, mochi, and imported goods like chocolate seem to be common. Then there are fried sesame goods and packets of salty crunchy food. I'm not really sure about what's popular among teenagers in particular, though. Sorry.
They can't drink until they're twenty, though. I'm pretty sure that Sapporo beer and other strong drinks are popular.

What are the features of Japanese drama?
- 1 answer
Japan
Japanese (Nō drama) is a serious dramatic form that combines drama, music, and dance into a complete aesthetic performance experience. It developed in the 14th and 15th centuries and has its own musical instruments and performance techniques, which were often handed down from father to son. The performers were generally male (for both male and female roles), although female amateurs also perform Nō dramas. Nō drama was supported by the government, and particularly the military, with many military commanders having their own troupes and sometimes performing themselves. It is still performed in Japan today.
Kyōgen is the comic counterpart to Nō drama. It concentrates more on dialogue and less on music, although Nō instrumentalists sometimes appear also in Kyōgen. Kabuki drama, developed from the 17th century, is another comic form, which includes dance
Many important elements of the dramatic art in Japan are similar to those developed by the Chinese. In many cases the story material is obviously the same, and there is great similarity in the methods of producing and acting. There were two periods of brilliance in Japan (the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries), and two distinct types of theater: the aristocratic and the popular.
japan does some plays that america does. when i went to japan, i saw that they were doing les miserables, and there were japanese playing the part. so they can do anything from american drama to drama that is their own.
