I like looking up associative thesauruses. In Japanese, there are several words that may seem indistinguishable at first glance. I really like discovering the slight differences and understanding the ideas that the ancients cherished. For example, there are over 400 different expressions for rain! I love things that give me a sense of people's lives. For example, the lights that shine in the windows of the homes in the night. Laundry swaying in the wind. The sound of tires of a running car. I sense life and stories in everything.
