/djt/ is a thread allegedly dedicated to the pursuit of learning the Japanese language.
Here's a poem, maybe it can muse you for a bit.
柿と柚
同じく風雨にさらされども
汝は甘く我は酸し
汝は赤く我は黄なり
人汝を賛美すれど
又我を捨てず
If you can't read it yet, don't worry. There are lots of freely available resources, and strangers online who can be mean, but the can also help you with questions, sometimes.

▶What is this?
/egg/ — Era Games General; also known as the “Era Games Thread”.
Era games are a group of (usually) Japanese-developed text porn games.
They’re not exclusively related to the Touhou franchise, but it’s one of the series with the most Era games.
▶Games usually discussed here
eraTohoTW — Comfy Touhou dating simulator with time stop shenanigans.
eraTohoK — Tactical game about conquering Gensokyo through any (absolutely any) means.
eraMegaten — Dungeon crawler based on the Shin Megami Tensei series, with tons of characters from other series (Fate, Touhou, Madoka, etc) included.
▶Useful Links
Guides and downloads for all Era games. For TW you should get the eng-development version, eng-release is several years old.

Git repository for a fork of eraTohoTW maintained by the /egg/ community.
>https://gitgud.io/Legis1998/anon-tw/-/releases/

>http://madhammer.club/files/era-updater.7z
▶How to play?
Run anchor.exe (or Emuera, depending on the game), Japanese locale is advised so you don’t run into untranslated text.
If you wish to manually update, delete old files aside the sav and dat folders to avoid any bugs.
▶Tips
If you’d like to either edit or add your own portraits, the files are located within the ‘resources’ folder in webp format. You can use paint.net to edit them. New Anon took it upon himself to make the new thread.

OtonaJP a shit. Order from them at your own risk.
OtonaJP has rebranded as Naughty-nippon in the EU and should also be avoided. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Why? Poor customer service, inconsistent inventory, and markups on cheap toys you can get elsewhere. In short, it's a gamble.

Post Japanese gravure here (remember this is a SFW board)
A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru), is a Japanese female model who primarily models on magazines, especially men's magazines, photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality.

Previous thread: >>49558674 Fairies are the most powerful race. They're immortal, can fly, have magic, don't need to eat, are the most populous, live everywhere, are universally cute, and most of all can survive independently of humans. It's understandable why prideful and insecure youkai could dismiss fairies, but any honest human would admit to the superiority of fairies. Though humans do have a tendency to be tsundere towards fairies, pretending to find them annoying and dislike them. 
This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interesting enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and often gets misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Anyways, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence how the genre gets its name. Honestly, if you still need to hand to be held on what makes something "anison" or what is a "club," then you need to GTFO and lurk moar.
One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would do yourself a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan! However, for those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.
Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also held online. As previous mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are individuals associated with MOGRA which also streams online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA who goes by the channel name of choroyama via Twitch. As previously stated, MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.
Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!
The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.

Previous: >>49521276 The Dolls in Pseudo Paradise jacket is one of my favorite pieces of ZUNart. It's fascinating how the girl's blank expression can evoke such a wide range of emotions.
It is like ZUN's version of the Mona Lisa, you can never quite tell what she's feeling. The markets are collapsing... The villagers are losing faith... The tengu and youkai have turned elsewhere... The other gods have turned a blind eye...
But, even with everything failing... You'll stay with me, right? You won't leave my side.
Please... don't leave me. Don't take my rainbow from me. Useful links:

This is an ongoing communal story with a comedic tone. A poster advances the story by posting an image accompanied with a description or light narration. Then another poster advances the story from there and so on. Participation is open so feel free to jump in and contribute.
A few rules and guidelines:
* This is an image-driven story. Posts advancing the story need a suitable image posted alongside.
* Suitable images are often modifications of a previous image. Original images are fine as long as they fit the story.
* Drawings, doodles and/or shoops are fine. Your art only needs to be clear enough for others to understand what is happening.
* Feel free to request the thread to wait if you're worried someone else will advance the story before you finish your own piece. Please finish within a few days of making your request.
* It's encouraged to keep images simple so others may easily modify them. White backgrounds are ideal for their simplicity but not required.
* Advancements should feel like steps and not leaps. No sudden timeskips or abrupt scene shifts please!
* Please avoid gore and excess blood.
* Reading the previous threads is strongly encouraged. It’s time for some earth-shattering terracotta salvation. Anyone remember this one PV of Yuugi (?) saving a human girl from the village and getting beaten up (?). I think Suika came to save her.
You can talk about Touhou PVs here as well.

It's my birthday soon this is a yokai
say something nice about it Fun fact: In Gensokyo, it's perfectly legal for 2hus to kiss or hug each other in public. A thread for fallen goddess. We got Boobhus and Asshus
The tummy/midriff deserves to be appreciated too. The current touhou of the day is this weird la creatura. Say something nice about her! I wanna have a thread about Yuugi!
What do you love most about her?
Do you prefer her as a cute girl like in Zun art, or a more sexy or even monstrous girl?
Best doujinshi's about Yuugi? The SFW variety, I want fun character based stuff, I've seen enough porn
Favorite canon depiction of her? etc. etc. 
Welcome to the Touhou Fanfiction and Headcannon Thread! Where we discuss our fanfics and Headcannons that stray away far from cannon!

>>49534288 Previous Thread. Sort of like how Okina inspiring Schizophrenic devotion and Mystia becoming a symbol for perseverance, I wonder if the spider has become some symbol of romantic devotion.
I'm not exactly sure why it's her, since Tsukasa seems like she would be a better symbol because tube foxes are symbols of monogamy, but something about Yamame in particular strikes me as being a fiercely loving and devoted person. touhou isn't worth shit. there's no plot and no story. it's just coomer bait Information for live shows and viewings:

anyway, i am sure we will have fun and dont worry about the time difference, i will make a post 30 mins before we start playing Is Kson even relevant anymore?
I really don't understand the appeal, nor can I figure out who her target audience is supposed to be. I love Japan, period.
