During Japan’s feudal period (1185-1868), honorific language was used towards people of high rank,…
Intro: My family and I have always loved the Nancy Drew books and computer games. One, of the adventure games in particular, had a significant influence on me. Shadow at the water's edge; the setting was Japan. The game gave you a look into the traditions and present-day culture. I was obsessed.
