I am often asked, "When did you come to Japan?". Here are some rather vague, but hopefully interesting, answers :
I remember Momoe-chan and Pink Lady. My students knew how do the Pink Lady dances.
Like today only sumo wrestlers wore their hair in the tranditional chonmage fashion, but almost all Japanese had black hair. Brown hair was extremely rare.
Shotoku Taishi was on the ten-thousand and five-thousand-yen notes, Ito Hirobumi was on the one-thousand-yen bill, and there was a 500-yen bill, too.
On a few occasions when I wanted to print something up in Japanese, I did it using a Japanese kanji typewriter.
