Margarita Colón – Learning about ‘the way of the sword’ (Japanese)

All Student Stories, Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies

Story written by Martarita Colón, NPTS, ’14

I remember the day that I had my first encounter with a piece of Japanese culture. It was a crispy afternoon in my hometown of Dorado, P.R.  I turned on the T.V. set, and that’s when I saw my first peek of what I would later find out that goes by the name of animé. It was a different art and design style that I had never seen before.
