green tea

Yesterday, i made green tea in my room and i drank it.The Japanese drink nihoncha (Japanese tea) on many occasions: with meals, at teatime, and whenever a visitor calls. There are many kinds of nihoncha, but the variety known as sencha is the kind that is drunk most often. Sencha is made from soft, young tea leaves picked in May or June, and it has an excellent astringency and fragrance.I have a teapot,so I tried to make very good tea yesterday.
First, Pour the hot water into my teapot, replace the lid, and allow to stand for about 1 minute.1minute is very important for good tea!So do not foget to wait 1 minute.
After 1minute,Pour into heated cup.my cup is japanese cup!
the name is Yunomi.that is old style,and I ate yokan!it is very sweet!
houever yokan is so expensive in unaited state,so i bought small yokans.
but the yokan gave me a power!
so i stayed up later and study hard last night.I studyed japanese,it is kokugo.my home work is very boring,and i spent much time to rearch the topic.the topic is kanji.kanji is japanese culture.
however once upon time japan did not have kanji!The Japanese language originally developed without a form of written expression. All communication took place orally. When people wanted to tell others of an important event they hired a professional narrator known as a kataribe. Kataribe traveled around and conveyed messages and important announcements to others. however this action sometimes tell wrong message to other people.so old japanese people started to use kanji. The descendants of those who immigrated to Japan worked as official recorders. They transcribed the ancient Japanese language, Yamatokotoba, into kanji. This provided the Japanese with their first form of written expression and allowed them to record important events and knowledge.everybody knows that japan and china use kanji,The use of kanji became more widespread as Chinese culture and literature spread to neighboring countries. The Korean Peninsula borders on China and many kanji and Chinese words became part of the indigenous language. In the 15th century the Korean people devised a system of characters with which to write their language. These are called Hangul letters. Today in The Republic of Korea (South Korea), Hangul characters are used in conjunction with kanji. However, kanji are not used in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
i tried so hard and i feel asleep now....
