I tend to think up very specific scenes. So I'll start with a sequence of instances, and then figure out a way to string them together. I admit this is not the best approach since I tend to get lazy with the stringing-together bit, so my writing always has a rushed feeling to it.

I love this question. I have been trying to use less detail to make my characters more relatable - ie I want each reader to create their own version of the character. I think this also may be a way of getting around a potential lack of diverse characters? That's a whole other forum...

For sure if you already have it set in Japan but you don't know much about it i'd say just start writing. Trying to get it accurate will lead to a ton of research that'll take you down some irrelevant rabbit holes. Good luck!!
