I could spend the rest of my days detailing the idiosyncrasies of our Japanese friends.
You may think this is weird, but do you know the 10th Amendment to your own constitution?
From Japundit:
Cracker barrel politics?
A coffee shop in Kumamoto, Japan has started selling sembei rice crackers that are imprinted with the text of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which states that Japan renounces war and the use of force.
Furatto, a coffee shop located in Kumamoto’s Oe district, is selling the popular “Article 9 Senbei” crackers in bags of five for 200 yen a bag.
The store ordered the rice crackers from an established senbei maker in Sendai last year, and began selling them over the counter. They have proved popular not just on Constitution Day on May 3, but throughout the year.
The manager of the store that sells the crackers says he hopes to familiarize people with their Constitution.

I think the only group of people that are quirkier than Americans is the Japanese.
I don't know if Americans count. We're mongrels. We bring all the weird and wonderful from every corner of the globe together, chew it up, and then spit it out in new combinations. The Japanese have had several thousand years to perfect their quirkiness.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
