Thank you for considering supporting the Exposing Imperial Japan blog. This project is a labor of love—a community service to the world at large. I work on this blog in my free time, which is becoming more precious as my family and professional obligations grow. Despite these challenges, I am committed to maintaining this resource to uncover and share valuable historical insights.

Currently, the cost of running this blog is just under $200 USD per year. This includes a basic domain name and Managed WordPress services. However, these costs are likely to rise over time. While I’m happy to fund this project personally, any support you can provide would go a long way toward easing this financial burden.

Your donations would help cover the immediate costs of hosting services and, if you’re feeling generous, a coffee or two to fuel the late nights I dedicate to this work. Every little bit helps keep this blog alive and thriving.

To maintain my anonymity and avoid involving outside companies as middlemen, I accept donations via Bitcoin and Ethereum:

• Ethereum Address: 0x21E0B5142A6ddCbBaD220A8D4b0cA0C95D4Db8f4

Your support—whether through a donation, sharing this blog, or simply engaging with its content—means the world to me. Thank you for helping to sustain this endeavor and for being part of this journey to uncover history.
