Hello, my name is Holly, which is ヒイラギ, a Christmas decoration. It is also used at 節分 to scare away evil spirits. Holly is a very useful plant!I am from Texas. No I am not a cowboy. No I do not have a horse. I have TWO horses. Just kidding! My job is professor of Japanese history. American college students are very interested in learning about Japan, especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sadamaru Oh, geisha and samurai. I also show my students movies. I showed them バトルロワイヤル、 用心棒、and ハッパ隊のYATTA.--> I am a cool teacher. :-)What movies and videos do you think I should show my students?I am very sad for the victims of the tsunami and earthquake. All Americans are very worried about Japan. Today I saw an older couple wearing t-shirts supporting victims of the Japan earthquake. Everyone thinks about Japan all the time. Do you have questions to ask me? You can ask me anything! I will answer your questions here.
