Laura, you have deeply touched me twice tonight. Many years ago, I worked as an assistant to Takao Akiyama with the US-Japan Television Exchange between NHK and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Takao and I worked on translating the production of Tale of Genji. He did the translating, and I helped with English. So much is flooding into my mind about the country. Akira Kurosawa's films remain with me, Yasujirō Ozu, Shōhei Imamura Kenji Mizoguchi... were also teachers. I had a love affair with Japan but haven't visited. Laura the gates holding my memories have opened. As to gardening, I started very young. It would be wonderful to see your face and to meet your partner. Thank you, I feel your welcome now. I will remember our warm exchange and to call you if I get to Portland.
