Here is a text to strengthen the reading and writing skills of foreigners being supported in their studies in local Japanese language classes by Japanese volunteers. With 2 readily accessible themes, such as 'Spring is cherry blossoms, fall is autumn leaves,' 'Life in Japan - Expensive? Cheap?,' etc., the book gives the learner an invaluable tool to further his/her reading and writing skills.

Since it was produced as a sister publication to the previously released Seeds of Chatting in Japanese, the units in both books have the same themes. Consequently, if both are used together, the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking can be covered, allowing the learner to increase his/her overall Japanese language ability.
