"And I didn't know whether I was looking for a person,
or looking for a country, or looking for the lost."
- Alan Booth, 'Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing Japan' (1996)
Alan Booth's last book was published the year we moved to Japan, three years after his untimely death. We left in 1997. Tomorrow, I'm going back for the first time in sixteen years.
I expect things will have changed somewhat.
Other than that, I have no idea what the next six weeks are going to be like. I'll be in Kyoto for a month, then head to Kyushu and work my way northwards from there again; I won't be visiting anywhere I've been before, so I'm skirting around Tokyo and Kamakura and only going as far north as Kanazawa.
This will most likely be a photography blog, updated whenever I can freebase some wifi.
I promise no instagram photos of ramen, though.
