        Oh definitely. At least two sets of decorative katanas hanging on a wall in their "dojo". And they're saving up for real, battle-ready swords.

          I legit own one of those five foot long shitty anime katanas, my cousin's neighbor didn't want it anymore when he was moving out and thus by osmosis it moved to my possession because of course I wasn't going to turn down a free giant shitty anime katana (i managed to drive it home by putting it in diagonally from the passenger seat to the back seat)

          I have no idea if it's decorative or not, I think it was actually sharp but like goddamn it's been sitting in its gigantic sheath in the back for like two years, as I promised my sensei I wouldn't unleash its demonic power

          Full disclosure: I have a functional wakazashi sitting about 2 feet away next to my polypropylene training sword. In my defense though the real one was a gift a friend gave me when he moved away. Even has real ray skin on the handle. I get the appeal, they're beautiful.

    ngl, I would be into a group of dudes serve me cake and tea while calling me princess. It'd be better if they were hotter and I don't get the race angle, but still it'd be cool.

      Nah, it's just about romanticizing shit. Paris is just a city where people live, with homeless people and trash on the streets and car accidents and McDonald's and gas stations and shit. Some people tend to romanticize it to the point where they have imagined an entirely different place. It has nothing to do with Japanese work ethic, and more to do with idealization. It's more like wanting to fuck a city.

        theres also a weird thing with romanticizing other monarchies in japan. like i know a handful of expats and they desperately want to visit europe to see its 'old glory' like the monarchy was some sort of fanciful thing back then

          But France killed all their monarchs so that is confusing.

            its more like the architecture and stuff was from monarchist times so thats the reason they like it

            they tend to romanticize the existing monarchies obv

              If they like monarchies maybe they can fucking suffer through England instead

    So as it turns out the kinda white guy able to be a buttler in japan and speak japanese is a very specific kinda white guy.

    Someone should start a cafee right next door with just some random australians sheep station workers and pay them to show off their cigarette sculpted abbs and not even bother trying to talk japanese.

    Just like the chad farmhand vs virgin buttler. If nothing else they will get a great anime deal out of it.

          Hell yeah it is, until you play Russian roulette with the only on-site toilet:

          A metal portaloo precariously placed on a slight incline on some yellow brickies sand, baking at a steady 40°C, with its door flapping uselessly in the wind.

          Structural integrity - unknown

          Stench - fuckin' wretched

    Y'all think this is bad? There's a place in Japan called "British Hills". It's supposed to be a sort of ersatz English countryside estate that serves as an English-language immersion camp for students.

    The fairly open secret about it is that the "instructors" are random unqualified white people and the male ones have a shocking history of sexual harassment against students and Japanese staff.

    That's a morning coat, not a tux (it's more formal than a tux and for daywear rather than evening)

    Also dear god find a tailor for your employees this is worker oppression.
