The Japanese word Tsundoku (積ん読) is the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them. The term is also used to refer to books ready for reading later when they are on a bookshelf.

📚 In Shōgun, you’ll come across "katajikenai," a traditional and formal way to express gratitude or humility.

It’s closer to saying "I am deeply grateful" or "I am honored," unlike the common "thank you" ("arigatou gozaimasu"). 🙏✨
