The use of random Japanese still bothers me (it makes me feel like I'm reading anime fanfic every time anything other than a suffix or pronoun is used), but I'm having an easier time getting through it this time. I think reminding myself that this is fantasy BASED on Japan, not a historical fantasy set in ACTUAL Japan, is helping me with most of the rest of the language things. The cultural things are great at least.

I will not gripe about the excessive Japanese word I will not--
"Daikon radishes"?
Look, either say daikon or say radishes, Redundant Department of Redundancy. (And using daikon instead of radish is one of the few instances outside of suffixes/proper nouns/terms of endearment where the use of Japanese would actually be appropriate.)
I'm really enjoying the use of Japanese mythology though, so that's a positive!
