Janken

Of all the things she could have taught them about Japanese culture she chose rock scissors paper? Wow, bet they didn't know how to play the "Japanese" version

What is telling you that this is the only thing she taught them? And what specifically is wrong with having taught this?

Maybe she was playing, "And the loser has to play Yes or No to the others questions". heh - heh.

They played this game recently in the Diet to determine who would take the fall for the dodgy paperwork.

I'm guessing Aso lost.

She has some nerve, showing her face at a public event - even one across the waters!

I can see how can she lively smile abroad and depressive expression back to Japan. We and she know why.

Janken...... think about it.

janken isnt ‘similar’ to rock-scissors-paper...it’s literally the same thing.

Since rock-scissors-paper has been in the American consciousness since, I guess, almost forever (Three Men and a Baby did it silently, i.e. no need for someone to say anything) and The Big Bang Theory has toyed with it by adding Spock; how ‘Japanese culture’ is this?

A photo, while it could tell a lot, it really only shows that specific moment. She could have done tons of other stuff before and after that precise moment when there photo was taken. Plus kids in general love playing janken.

That woman's got form with schools.
