What a fascinating sojourn. How many years did you teach in Japan?
My contract was for a year, but I pulled the plug for medical reasons after just over 3 months.
Given the volume of poetry inspired by that visit, I assumed years. It must have been with great impact.
Yes. My memories of that time seem like an illuminated manuscript.
This is really cool and you have inspired me to meet her!
You would have gotten along with her really well!
What was her name?
Junko :)
Nice! What does that name mean?
Wait! Heart of Delight?
Nope! But it does mean "pure, child" (written in that order using kanji characters: 純子).
