There's no other place in the universe like Japan.
Welcome to Japan. Join me in exploring the nooks and crannies of the Japanese heart, spirit and mind—the customs, encounters and quiet details that give everyday life its shape.
The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sides of life are connected. In these stories, homeostasis is a way of thinking about everyday balance: noticing what needs attention as life changes.
That thread runs through these pages—and through a family connection to Japan that began in 1968.
