Nipponster

Hi and thank you for visiting! My name is Tori and this is Nipponster.com - "the Japan-enthusiast's search engine." Nipponster (ニッポンスター) is a website dedicated to working with others to better organise and enhance all of the Japan-related content online. The goal of these collaborative efforts is to benefit Japan-enthusiasts of all sorts and create a better "J-web."

Japanopedia

Created in early 2007 the current goal of Japanopedia is to create lists of Japan-related resources. The project is open and free for all to contribute to and use. A wonderful community of J-bloggers and others supported the early, more grandiose, project but even their best efforts could not make up for my poor planning. I am re-visiting the Japanopedia idea with much more modest expectations.

JapanLabs

Originally started as an experimental "science lab" for people who develop Japan-related web content, The new JapanLabs will be a showcase of Japan-related tools. The site will also link to discussions about the tools on JapanSoc.org, a reincarnation of the "science lab" idea run by a more responsible adult :)
