Everything Japanese Encyclopedia::Japanese People
After 1662 entries, the Everything Japanese Encyclopedia became too big to fit in a single volume.
After much deliberation, it was decided that the EJE would be broken up into separate tomes; this is one of those.
This portion of the EJE is devoted to the nihonjin scattered about Everything2.
If, during your wanderings through the nodegel, you spot a node that has been overlooked by the watchful eyes of the Encyclopedists, drop me a /msg.
Thanks!
