The calm after the storm

It is so hard to believe that just three days ago I was huddled away in my hotel room as a Typhoon blustered across Japan.  Today the skies are blue and life has resumed its beautiful pace.  If you don’t count the nearby International Airport that is closed and the people flooded out of their…

The Typhoon has passed!

The trains stopped running, stores closed, people stayed home and my private sessions were cancelled!  Typhoon Jebi made landfall right near where I am in Osaka and disrupted lives throughout the region.  Kansai International Airport was flooded, the bridge to the airport was damaged and closed due to a Tanker that broke loose from its…

It's raining!

Ah, the countryside!

Out here in Yamagata, the pace of life is slower than many places I go.  The air has a sweetness, my eyes are drawn to the bounty of growing things all the way to the horizon.  Yamagata is a magical place, and Atelier Gem Cafe, where I am working right now, is magical too.  I love…

Hello Sapporo!

In the far northern Prefects of Japan is the delightful City of Sapporo.  For those who think Japan is Japan is Japan, this is one of those places that show how diverse this beautiful country is.   While Tokyo was steamy and hot, I arrived in Sapporo to blessedly rainy skies and temperatures in the…

Matsuyama

After a delightful six hour drive from Izumo, Brian, Yukari Kojima, and my interpreter Aiko Handa and I arrived in this beautiful peninsula city.  Along the way we reveled in the country views and big city bustle.  We had to drive because recent rains have devastated the rail system in this part of Japan.  We even…
