Japanese Math Challenge


Jenny wanted to purchase 2 dozen pencils and a pen. Those items cost $8.45 and she did not have enough money. So she decided to purchase 8 fewer pencils and paid $6.05.

How much was a pen?

Japanese Math Challenge


As a part of introducing Japanese culture to Japanese-Online users, we used to publish Japanese math problems in English. Those problems were given to Japanese 6th grade elementary students for their Jr. High School entry exam. Can you solve it?

お花見 [Ohanami]
“Cherry blossom viewing”

春（はる）になって気温（きおん）があたたかくなると、たくさんの花（はな）がさいて、見ているだけでしあわせな気持ち（きもち）になります。桜（さくら）も春にさきほこり、きれいな姿（すがた）を見せてくれます。日本ではそんな桜をめでる習慣（しゅうかん）があり、桜をながめながら、食事（しょくじ）をしたり、ゲームをしたり、会話（かいわ）を楽しんだりします。これを「お花見（はなみ）」とよびます。この言葉の中に「桜」という言葉はふくまれていませんが、一般的（いっぱんてき）にこの「お花」は桜のことです。

また、桜には「はかない美（うつく）しさ」という考え方が定着（ていちゃく）しています。桜はさきはじめてから約（やく）２週間（しゅうかん）で散（ち）ってしまいます。だからこそ、このみじかい期間（きかん）に立派（りっぱ）に美しくさきほこる桜の姿に、人々（ひとびと）はひきつけられるのです。


As Spring arrives, the temperature goes up and a lot of flowers start blooming, which makes me happy. The cherry blossom is a type of flower that blooms in the Spring. In Japan, people admire cherry blossoms while they eat, play games, and enjoy conversations with their family and friends. This custom is called “ohanami”, which means cherry blossom viewing. This phrase doesn’t contain the word “sakura” (cherry blossom), although “ohana” in this case refers to cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms are often associated with the idea of “momentary beauty” because its peak bloom doesn’t last too long, and only occurs for a few weeks. Despite their short life span, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully and continue to be appealing to people.

Honne and Tatemae



Honne are our honest thoughts and feelings and tatemae is what we are supposed to say in any given situation. （本音（ほんね）は、人が正直に思ったり感じたりしていること、建前（たてまえ）は、たとえ思っていたことでも、言わないほうがいいと思われることをいいます。）


Japanese people often avoid saying their honest feelings in order to keep harmony in their communities and society as a while. （日本人は、しばし共同体や社会の調和を保つために、本心をいうことをさける傾向があります。）

However, this culture causes misunderstandings between Japanese and foreigners, who may find these attitudes dishonest.（しかしながら、このような日本の文化は、それを不正直だと捉える外国人との間に、誤解をもたらしたりします。）

Onsen


One of the most popular pastime for Japanese people is to go and stay in Japanese ryokan which has a natural hot spring or an onsen.（日本人が最も好きな余暇の過ごし方は、温泉のある旅館に行くことです。）

Onsen with open-air baths called rotenburo have become popular among people of all ages. （外にある温泉は露天風呂といわれ、全ての世代の人たちに愛されてます。）

The best hot spring place in Japan I really like is Hakone. Hakone is located in Kanagawa Prefecture and it takes only two hours to go to Hakone from Tokyo by car. （私が日本にある温泉で一番好きな場所は、箱根です。東京から車でわずか二時間で行くことができます。）

The air is cool and nice and also there are so many good ryokan. （空気がきれいで澄んでいて、多くのいい旅館があります。）

I'm sure that you can feel Japanese Hospitality called "Omotenashi".（きっと日本の「おもてなし」を受けることができるでしょう。）

If you have free time and want to recover from your fatigue, you should visit Hakone, which is awesome. （もし時間があって、疲れを癒したいなら、ぜひ箱根を訪れてみて！ほんとに最高！！）
