Game Let's Play Shiritori!

[Snow]

As explained in the thread on how to play shiritori, we're going to start a thread to play the game to expand your vocabulary.

House rules:

• The word must be a noun.
• You can type it in hiragana, katakana, or kanji but you must also place it in romaji so that it is readable for all.
• The word then must be defined.
  Example: "はな/花/)hana" and followed by the definition, flower.

The house rules have been updated to not include the word in a sentence as it may confuse you learning proper Japanese sentence structure.

This is just a game to help you expand your vocabulary now.
