However, it is also still used today. In fact, the Soto Zen temple in downtown Los Angeles has a terakoya that my children attended for a summer.

I do enjoy academics and Buddhism, so I guess it's fitting for me. :) But I am not Japanese, and dont' speak it that well, so I am not sure if I will ever have that opportunity. P.S. Sorry for late reply. Hi Cocomino,

I’ve heard of Terakoya a little, but I didn’t know what it was. I do enjoy academics and Buddhism, so I guess it’s fitting for me. :) But I am not Japanese, and dont’ speak it that well, so I am not sure if I will ever have that opportunity.

P.S. Sorry for late reply.

Terakoya was alike school. I heard that people used the temple as an academe since early times I hope you'll get suitable job. There had been the word “Terakoya 寺子屋” in Edo era.

However, the progress is pretty slow, so I don't have any exciting updates or news yet. Also, we have to think about our daughter and how we can avoid moving around too much (we just came back from Ireland 2 years ago). So, it's still too early to say.

Thank you. I see that you have a desire to possibly moving to Japan and working in the IT field. How is that going for you? Does your wife prefer to live in japan? That would be a big change on your part. This was a very enjoyable article. Thank you.
