I also think so the background of that mascot is deers and Buddhist temples that we often see in Nara.

I hope that the drawings won't offend anyone from Nara you know.
Should I watch out for anything?

they should have used my mascot, it makes so much more sense than a drawing of Buddha with horns, seriously, what was the Association for Commemorative Events thinking???

Anything relating to the city of Nara (temples, deer, buddha, or a combination of all three of those things). I just googled Nara and did some research on some things that Nara is prominent for. Good Luck.

Thanks for the info guys. I was just curious. I wasn't sure it was last name first still b/c they are younger and only students. I guess now that you guys have explained it to me it does seem kind of weird not to say their last names first. Anyway thanks again for the help.

Well, because ちゃん has a certain connotation (it's a diminutive suffix and implies a certain level of familiarity/affection), it's not really appropriate for teacher-student interactions. Kind of creepy.

What a way to get get docked, haha.

One thing I also heard is to never refer to yourself as 'name' + さん.

Re: Nara’s Super-Creepy New Mascot wants you to Win a Japanese Textbook!

SputnikSweetie — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:34:06 -0000

Japanese professors call their students by their last name + さん. I've never heard a Japanese professor call a student by their first name, I think it's just not done. I read a news article about a professor who had his pay docked because he added ちゃん to his female students' last names, though, haha.

Okay so I have no clue where I should of posted this question. Does anyone on this website via staff or viewer know whether or not you call stuents by their first name or by their family name? I am curious because I’m going to school for Japanese Studies and when I am finished I would like to move to Japan to become a ESL instructor. Thanks.
