Yesterday‘s banner picture was a set of chopsticks I was given shortly before leaving Japan. I invited readers to guess what may be written on them.

The word on the chopsticks is “ジェイムス”.
ジェイムス
“jie-i-mu-su” (katakana)
James
That is one way of writing my name in katakana.
Another is “ジェームズ”
ジェームズ
“jie-muzu” (katakana)
James
Both of these variants are used on semi “official” items I have. I will talk about one of them tomorrow. As usual, clue in the header image!
