I’d like to propose we revive the Japan Blog Matsuri! For a while back in 2007, we had a monthly “blog carnival” where a Japan-related theme was chosen and bloggers wrote something that fitted in with that theme.
The Japan Blog Matsuri was quite successful while it lasted. I found some new sites, learned things I didn’t know, and we all got to share some link love.
Ken’s What Japan Thinks laid out the rules here, and among the hosts were Deas (here) and Bill (here) .
The first thing is to see if there’s enough interest, so leave a comment if you’d like to participate.
Shane, no problem,...

You know, I was just about to start a blog carnival up. I got the idea as a result of reading a blog that I found on the Long Countdown. I forgot the name of the writer, but he was talking about making a high traffic website. Great idea. I’m in.

I second that emotion.

I’m in and I am also willing to host either on my personal blog or on The Tokyo Traveler if the theme is Tokyo related.

My apologies for not submitting my already written post. There have been some health issues in the way, but I’ll be sure to put the finishing touches on my Impressions of Tokyo this weekend
