#1 The Japan-related Web: Introduction to Tori Johnson

I do not really like talking about myself that much (this series is really more about you, not me) but Bill  asked me to introduce myself, so here goes:

My name is Tori Johnson. I am one of the founders of Nipponster.com – a search tool that gives only Japan-related results – and the blogger behind DailyJ.net.

I started building websites related to Japan while studying at Sophia University in Tokyo. I started because I was a bit overwhelmed (like many are) by the difficulties of trying to live/succeed as a foreigner in Japan and I wanted to make

things a little easier for others. I do not know if we are succeeding at Nipponster but we are definitely trying.

Both Nipponster and DailyJ focus on spearheading different projects to help people (with an interest in Japan – we call them Japan-enthusiasts) find the Japan-related information they need, faster.

I believe that communication and collaboration between webmasters (and between webmasters and their readers) is the key to better Japan-related content on the web.

So, I am very grateful and excited that Bill has given me the chance to guest blog here on RisingSunOfNihon and chat with all of you!
