Japan Characteristics Im Finding

I am learning so many things on my adventure! I have learned so far that Japan has one of the oldest literary traditions on earth. One of the earliest works of literature was Kojiki or record of ancient matters written in 712 A.D. I have also learned about the Japanese cuisine. Rice porridge, okayu or kayu, is very popular because it is easily digestable. A lot of Japanese have this for breakfast in the mornings or top them with vegetables or chicken for a dinner meal.
