Nipponkan
Nipponkan is a new site that describes itself as “A vitamin C blend of Japan related links found at del.icio.us, Digg and Flickr”. Recent postings at the site include:
- Japanese type foundries with free fonts
- Online National Diet Library materials (a lot more interesting than it may sound)
- Japan on Weather Bonk
- Four Japanese blog search engines
- Canned coffee goodness (link to a canned-coffee site maintained by Chin Music Press)
- Japanese grammar resources
- MegaTokyo (online manga)
- Yahoo! Japan’s “scrolling maps” beta
- Crash course “Tokyo” (link to Justin Hall travel guide to Tokyo)
- Edomoji and more (Edo era fonts)
Since you mentioned fonts, I’d like to ask for your help. :)
I’ve recently opened a site that features “sexy” fonts. Would you happen to know a Japanese font site that features “sexy” dingbats? LOL. Hopefully, they have english commentaries.
