In general, I don't like lists of links the way they are on the internet. They always seem to point nowhere but to other lists, wth very few links to actual sources of information. When I started out this site, I promised myself I would not include another pointlessly redundant list, and have been avoiding it until now.

However, I don't want to be a dead end on the information superhighway, and I know that my site doesn't contain nearly enough information to completely satisfy the curious student of Japanese. As a compromise, I've decided to provide links to those who have listed me on their sites. All of these sites are quite useful, and I've used them myself when surfing the web. They're listed in the order that they told me of their links.

It's been about a year since this page was last updated.  I've had many requests for links in that time, but I've been tied up with other projects at work and school, and pretty much forgotten that this page exists.  I've put them into reverse chronological order from the time they were received.  Sorry to those who've been waiting so long.  It's rather rude of me.  I waited so long that some of the pages that notified me of links are no longer on the web.

• Japan and Beyond. Marie and Tom Grant write about their experiences in Japan.
• Art Deadlines List Not really sure why they linked to me, but they did.
• Two-Car Woodshop Homepage A cool page for those into DIY projects, which for some reasn was nice enough to give me a link.
• Bilingual-Jobs.com A referral service
• Japan Graham Hawker's site containing links to other sites about Japan.
• Clock Art Get a clock with your child's name written in Japanese.
• mamamedia. Fun page with activities for kids.
• Kiroro's Zone. A page from Singapore.  You need to be able to view kanji to visit the site.
• Yugenkan Dojo, Canada. A member of the Japanese Kendo Association.
• Japan and Beyond. Marie and Tom Grant write about their experiences in Japan.
• Charlotte's Japanese Lessons. In an attempt to add some "meat" to online Japanese lessons, Charlotte Meyer has created her own page, based on her experience gleaned as a missionary in Japan in the late 1970's.  This link would appear to be broken.
• Kanji's Homepage. I must admit when I first saw this guy's site listed on AltaVista I ignored it, thinking by the name that it must be pretty weird, thrown together quickly by someone of questionable expertise. Boy, was I wrong. Kanji is the guy's name and the site is great.
• Joyo 96 is another invaluable free resource toward the learning of Japanese writing.
• Ji Page d'acueil, the introduction to some wonderful downloadable software available for learning japanese writing. It ssems to be broken at this time.
• Keiko Schneider's Bookmarks Lots and lots of sites listed, mostly Japanese, but with a bit of Spanish as well. Really helpfully organized.
• Jim Breen's Japanese Page A wide variety of information on the Japanese language and culture, with a strong emphasis on computing.
• Japanese Language Sites The server name is polyglot.lss.wisc.edu, and polyglot it is. If you want information on just about any language, you've got a good chance of finding it here.
• Gail and Sherry's Japanese Links Good links, especially the information on links for kids, which seem to be lacking on other sites. To view some of the sites, you'll need a browser that supports Japanese text, but those are clearly marked with a Japanese flag.
• Japanese Web Sites This is part of Kristina Pfaff-Harris' Linguistic funland site. A wealth of information on just about any language topic you can think of.
• E-Visa This page is maintained by a private English school in Aichi, and has links for Japanese and ESL related sites.
• Joe Larabell's Favorite Places -- Personal Stuff. He's got a rather eclectic listing, as his links page also serves as his personal bookmarks away from home, when he's working on another computer. Full of all kinds of fun stuff besides Japanese.

Feeling left out? Want to be included here? E-mail me at blasterz@usa.net and I'll put your list up if you'll list my site. Quid pro quo, m'dear. And for all y'all operating commercial websites, you'd better have your links out in the open. None of this "mutually beneficial" crud when all you're doing is posturing for free advertising.
