Shakus and Suns Another quick aside about Japanese language: One of the greatest challenges you’ll face in learning Japanese is how to count things. Many of us learn how to count 1-10 in Japanese (ichi, ni, san, shi…) and we’re crestfallen to learn that while those are indeed numbers, there are different counters for most things. There’s kind of a generic counter that can get you by for most things (hitotsu, futatsu, mitsu), but very quickly you’ll be picking up innumerable more—no pun intended. For example: drinks are usually counted ippai (one glass), nihai (two glasses), sanbai (three glasses); sheets of paper are ichimai, nimai, sanmai. Small animals? ippiki, nihiki, sanbiki while large animals are ittō, nitō, santō. And on and on and on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459bbaf120166019b47bfb2/3a9ae8ec-c05c-4dd4-8113-c977ecc7d293/Leo+4up.jpg Blog - Shakus and Suns - Make it stand out ippiki, nihiki, sanbiki, yonhiki. just kidding…they’re all Leo so, ippiki. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459bbaf120166019b47bfb2/78bbce43-aa7d-4dfe-ad69-1f7fef2c4de5/wanda_otto.jpg Blog - Shakus and Suns - It always makes me think of A Fish Called Wanda, specifically a short conversation between Jamie Lee Curtis’ Wanda and Kevin Kline’s heroically stupid Otto: Wanda (approaching a car where Otto waits): Otto, what are you doing? Otto (behind the wheel, sitting in a bizarro lotus-position): It’s a Buddhist meditation technique. It focusses your aggression. The monks used to do it before they went into battle. Wanda: …What kind of Buddhism is this, Otto? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459bbaf120166019b47bfb2/e40cad7a-d3d0-49f6-a4e1-58847c2c5c17/nishaku1.JPG Blog - Shakus and Suns - Make it stand out nisshaku-issun made by Momose Hodō, student of Kodō III https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459bbaf120166019b47bfb2/9677a6cf-3820-43b6-b141-ad0d3935e469/nishaku.JPG Blog -
