in professional and amateur sumo; been ordained as a female Buddhist
priest at a 440-year-old temple in the mountains of Kyushu; become a
Master in one of Japan’s oldest schools of tea ceremony; climbed the
Nihon Hyakumeizan (“Japan’s top 100 mountains”); represented Japan in
the world chess championships; and translated Japanese novels, short

tapestry woven by people whose passion for something they have
discovered in Japan has enriched their lives, A Passion for Japan overflows with struggles and joy, wisdom, warmth, and glimpses into worlds that few people have experienced. A Passion for Japan is available from Amazon USA, Amazon Japan, and all other Amazon stores.”
