Field journal
家族の旅日記
A paper notebook for the trips we actually took: Christmas at the Gaylord Texan with the kids, Bushkill Falls, a Doraemon afternoon in Ariake, pumpkin season at High Hill Ranch, and Chiikawa Bakery in Harajuku. No shop. Just the photographs, the films, and the links we wished we had printed.

夜中の熱、どうしたか
My wife spiked a fever in the middle of a Tokyo night, and the fatigue that came with it ended the day. We suspected influenza B, treated that as a question for the clinic, and got through it with a hotline, a Japanese note, a 7-Eleven run, and cash for the pharmacy.

Walking into this special exhibition in Tokyo with my daughter felt like stepping straight into my own childhood daydreams, this time seeing it through her eyes.
