S P C | Tokyo, 'Osananajimi'

'How was Japan?'

'Hard!'

'Why?'

'I saw an old friend...'

'And?'

'And... well... it's Japan, so...'

So you speak in the silent spaces.

So you learn as you go, with time, who the people are who matter.

So you discover that sometimes being quiet and sitting still is what's in order.

Not talking, too much. Or trying to make sense of things.

Except... when you want to figure out how it got to be the way it is, from where it was. This is a story based on two close friends, as observed by an outsider who finds her way in. It sums the crux of several insights gathered, quietly and with percolation, over half a lifetime.

Based on a true story.
