マージャンで他国籍間交流を・・・・

さて、お伝えしたとおり、マージャンの威力はすさまじいものがあるようです。
かくも深ぁ～い父娘間の確執の闇を瞬時に照らし出す、そのパワーおそるべし！

日本のご婦人も、もっと気軽にマージャンを楽しんだらいいと、私は思います。
子供たちのマージャンに眉根を寄せる前に、一緒に楽しんだらいいのでは。

さらに、子供たちの将来を考えてみます。
今の若者が大人になる頃は、日本はどのような状況になっているでしょうか・・・・
おそらく、アジア諸国との距離はさらに縮んで、
婦女子といえども、気軽に他国の人々と交流するべき「場」は
格段と多くなっているに違いありません。

そんなときに、マージャンができれば・・・・
さまざまな言語やカルチャーを超えて、
きっと気軽に楽しい輪を広げることができるような気がします。

Mah-jong is good for brain but it is not too much difficult like Igo or Shogi. 　So anyone, of any generation can start as a beginner at any time.

What is more, the number of four, which constitutes the mah-jong body, is a very good number of group as a very comfortable small society; not too much opened and not too much closed.

Sometimes the image of mah-jong is not so good. However, I think Japanese ladies should have more chance to enjoy mah-jong in daily life, like other Asian ladies.

In the future, when young people grow up, they must have more opportunity to get along well with various Asian countries. I am sure mah-jong is a very happy manner to get along well with various cultures.

Mah-jong, which is said to have originated in the ancient court of the Emperor, mah-jong remained as an entertainment exclusively for the royal class of China for a long time. It was originally a very elegant game.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let's enjoy mah-jong with your family, boss, colleague, boyfriend or girlfriend!

娘がマージャンを始めたら・・・・あなたはどうしますか？

高２の娘がマージャンを覚えてきました。
マージャンに拒否反応を示す親御さんは多いようですが、
我が家ではマージャンを逆手にとって、
思春期の娘と父親との冷たい確執を見事に撃退！
以下、その不思議なマージャンパワーの記述です。
英文となりますが
よろしくお願いします　m(_ _)m
 
What do you do when your children, especially daughters, play mah-jong? Many high school boys seem to play mah-jong, but some of them keep it secret from their parents or teachers because some parents may have a negative image with mah-jong.
When I hear her mah-jong story from daughter, I hesitated at first but said, "OK, daughter, so why don't you do it together with us? "
At that time I had something to think about, and soon recognized how effective my idea was........

These days, since after she entered the age of adolescence, her attitude to father has always been so arrogant and there was little conversation between them. I tried to improve the situation but in vain.

To tell the truth, I understand her feeling and situation. That often happens to a girl around her age. To young people, the culture gap between themselves and their parents looks so deep and serious that it seems almost impossible to conquer: hobby, generation, society each belongs to, values, fashion, topic, the way of thinking, and so on......the wall is too high.
I understand such adolescent situation, but I do not like it. I do not like such a cold war atmosphere within the house. That's why when she talked about mah-jong, I thought "Thank you daughter! To approach daddy!"

Now I am surprised to see her sudden change in mind only by playing mah-jong with father, like "Oh! she is talking!" or "Oh! She is laughing!", and so on. How simple and easy this method is, without any difficult effort but just with fun! You know, scolding, logical persuasion could see no particular results. But Mah-jong promptly changed the situation with a lot of fun! That may be called like a "mah-jong magic"!

Now I totally understand why Japanese businessmen prefer mah-jong in their business talk or with their colleagues or boss. It is a very effective tool to cross a bridge over two differences.
