Hi Charlize! Wow, this is such an interesting article. I have definitely heard this phrase before without ever understanding what it meant, so I am really intrigued by its historical and cultural context/implications.

Something that I loved about your article is the way that you broke down so carefully the meanings of both words "Yamato" and "nadeshiko." I really felt when reading it that I was understanding each nuanced idea and connotation. I also really appreciated when you would add the literal translations after a looser, more common translation. Regarding the translations, in your notes you mentioned the word nadeshiko as meaning "a child so cute or endearing you'd pet them." I feel like that helped me understand the literal translation even more than "child being petted"! Maybe it would be beneficial to add that exact wording?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but when you are discussing Yamato nadeshiko being represented in media, would it maybe be beneficial to provide examples from different manga/anime? Maybe in a linkn to another show/character? I was thinking that might be a great way for the reader to really get a sense for the concept as it is represented in various media.

I also really liked how you expanded the article past its meaning, but how it has been adopted and represented in Japan today (especially with the women's football team).

Something that inspired me that I am interesting in adopting into my own article is the way that you have the Japanese and English words right next to each other. In my article, I just simply put a Spanish word as an example, but I think I will add a translation. This really helped my understanding of the text!
