Japanology

Japanology is when people study everything about Japan. This includes its history, culture, language, and traditions. People who learn about Japan are called Japanologists. They learn about what makes Japan special, and why people might want to travel there, or work with people from Japan. They also study Japanese art, food, festivals, and other things that make Japan unique. If you were a Japanologist, you would be like a detective, trying to learn more about this fascinating country!
