Asian tiger

Naturally, when I left my home in Britain to come over to Japan for the first time, some 14 years ago now, many things seemed new and mysterious to me.

Finally, one of the more obscure elements of Japanese culture has been revealed to me.  I am of course talking about baseball, and more specifically, the Hanshin Tigers.

As is often the case in life, however, the understanding of one matter often uncovers a new mystery: the Tigers, so closely associated with Osaka, are based in Hyogo Prefecture…

Somebody suggested that it was kind of similar to Tokyo Disneyland being based in Chiba Prefecture.
