Description: Ric Getter's personal memoir of a two-week trip to Japan, his wife's homeland.
A fisherman enjoys a solitary moment at a park in Ayabe, a rural corner of Kyoto prefecture. When we returned home from Japan, it was my intention to jot down some notes about the trip to help preserve the memory of the journey that I enjoyed so much. As we rode home from the airport in the dilapidated taxi, looking out at the rows of beige, soulless stucco bunkers and litter-lined highways of Silicon Valley, I realized that my heart had remained behind on the other side of the Pacific. That night, in spite of the fatigue of a twenty-two hour, dateline-crossing journey, I sat down to write.
