Shogi is a much more difficult board game then chess since you are able to recycle the opponent pieces that you have taken.
I hear that a super computer still can not out wit a pro in shogi because it has more possibe moves to consider then chess.

True, chess is "just about completely solved" but shogi's unique side-switching captured-piece drop rule ( mercenary paratroopers for the win) that was added in the 16th C. (?) makes it a far more computationally difficult problem. I'm still in the "learning good openings" stage but find the game fascinating and refreshing - the old regular chess games may move to the back of the closet.

Chinese chess is also interesting but one chess-sister at a time...

I just hate it when pros say, "Checkmate in 50 moves" when the game just started and they already won. I hate that!

That can easily happen with Shogi as well if the opponent is not up to par.

That’s pretty cool. I used to know how to play Shogi but I've completely forgotten. I need to relearn it.

And baduk(or go) will never be solved, that game is so hard to get good at.
I didn't realize that Shogi, Xiangqi, and Janggi were different games, always thought they were the same game but with different name.

Yeah I have no idea what that thing is. Although I'd like to have his famicon. My family has a lot of games but we haven't had a working famicon for a while.

I'm not quite sure where one is supposed to put the offering, much less a candle or anything... :P

Interesting way to waste floorspace though...

Japanese Culture

Painting has been an art in Japan for a very long time: the brush is a traditional writing tool, and the extension of that to its use as an artist's tool was probably natural. Native Japanese painting techniques are still in use today, as well as techniques adopted from continental Asia and from the West.

I don't think you even offer anything, you use e-offerings via the laptop. Just make sure there's WLAN first.

Girls dressed as maids carry a “mikoshi,” or portable shrine, during an event to promote the Akihabara district on Sunday. The mikoshi was decorated with objects representative of the district, such as manga, or comic books, laptop computers, toy robot models and video games.

Listed are (on the almost completed Akiba Mikoshi):
CPU
A Monitor & D-VHS
iPoD and other medias
Manga "NHK ni Yokoso" & Genshiken Eng version
Cellphone
Manga Magazine & Radio-controlled Model Car
A Case for PC
Laptop & A Hero Doll
Niku no Mansei & A Soldering Iron
Game, Comp, etc (with Tsuruya-san and Mikuru)
Family Computer (Famicom)
PSP Lucky☆Star Transistor Teaset
Other stuff I saw:
Maid uniform
A robot on top
Akiba Map
Something that looked like solar panels

Well, according to Rhoads Murphey in his "A History of Asia", Buddhism came to Japan via Korea. I guess it's more of a historical legacy than real cultural ones. The ties between Korea and Japan were at their strongest before 1000 C.E. In fact, many Chinese customs reached Japan through Korea, I believe.
