"It is like people from across the world on an island somewhere invented their own culture." Welcome home to you and your beautiful family.

Girls never know how beautiful they are. That photo of the tree? Also a beauty.

(Sometimes women don’t either.) Thank you for liking my tree.

The perspective reminds me a little of a tree Georgia O'Keeffe painted while visiting D.H. Lawrence. You can see it in Hartford at the beautiful Wadsworth Atheneum. https://www.thewadsworth.org/learn/education/virtual-studio/alternative-angles/

Happy bday and welcome back. Japan is such a special place. All the feels. (PS that’s likely not a real account. I had “George Saunders” and someone else famous I don’t remember now. . .)

Konnichiwa, and Kanpai! (used often in my home when sake cups are in hand). A very close friend of mine is a professor of Japanese literature, yet the only words I know besides those, are related to rolling maki—which I am surprisingly proficient at. I hope you had an incredible time and collected volumes of forever memories, with perhaps a couple of stories simmering on the burner.🎉🎂🎈🍱🍣
