This blog is dedicated to the Japanese Minister of Finance, who after learning that his Country's economy tumbled at a rate not seen in decades, showed up, quite possibly drunk and under the influence of too many cold pills, at a G7 meeting of finance ministers.
My friend and I joked that perhaps others might consider mixing beer and Nyquil in the same manner as a "sake bomb," by dropping a shot glass of nyquil into the beer and quickly drinking it. We were considering different names put had trouble finding one that was pithy and memorable. The names "G7" and "Finance Minister" were too generic and too length, respectively.
Luckily for us, my friend, Chris, and I were able to have dinner with two Japanese speakers. One of them was a friend of mine and Chris, who had learned Japanese in college, and the other Japanese speaker was someone who was from Japan. I asked our nippomophile friend, Tanisha as well as her new friend from Japan, how one said "Finance Minister" in Japanese. The best answer we got was the name of the Japanese National Treasury. The name for that was Kenyocho.
So Kenyocho is the name of this blog because every other good current events based, political, cultural, economic and financial blog name has already been taken. So tonight, I begin this undertaking, of trying to bring interesting and insightful commentary into a blogosphere, where all of those aforementioned subjects are so pleasantly saturated.
