Tsundoku (piling up books to read). Notes by a gai-jin

A semiotic research on visual and sign culture in Japan. It might seem strange, but the Japanese language has some similarities with Italian. The structure of the sentence is similar to Latin and the way we pronounce consonants and vowels gives us an edge in learning the language, at least initially.

The two countries are separated by 9731 km, yet there are some similarities between the two countries, even in the language.
