The classical elegance of kanji,
The subtle simplicity of katakana...
Japanese, whether printed or written, never fails to make me happy ^_^
("When the bee stings, when the dog bites, when I'm feeling sad... I simply think of the Japanese scripts, and then I don't feel so bad!")

To waterdancer: My knowledge of history, family background, and opposition to the Yasukuni shrine visits do NOT influence my appreciation of the Japanese language. Besides, I'm caught between a japanophobic paternal family and a japanophilic maternal family... so I have to compromise sometimes by learning to appreciate one aspect while disliking another. And, the Japanese language is one aspect of their culture that I choose to appreciate! The same goes for their food, traditional rituals, and architecture (which is heavily Chinese-influenced, anyway). The Japanese government, on the other hand... I don't like; neither do I have much fondness for their rigid social structures.
