I was lucky enough to catch the majority of farmers out harvesting their rice crops a couple weeks ago. The clouds opened up and made it a perfect day to do so. I've lived here for more than three years now and I'm still reminded of that book
To the White Sea by James Dickey (the same author who wrote
Deliverance). The main character finds himself in foreign yet beautiful landscapes. Now, after a few years here and a few more in other Japanese locales, these landscapes don't feel so foreign anymore, but they're sure still beautiful.
