It is past midnight where I live so I'm hitting the futon. I did the first 6-line paragraph Hopefully other members will do the rest (or at least a few lines) while Japan is at sleep. So many members here claim to know Japanese.

Drawn by Kawamata"

That is in the Philippines.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
