Yakushima – Bruce Allen explores the ancient forests of Japan’s World Heritage island

Seven thousand years of life. Perhaps this being was here before the island was inhabited by humans. Until its recent discovery — for ninety-nine percent of its life — it remained unseen by them. What ages have passed in such a life? Typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Comets, climatic changes, fluctuations of ozone and oxygen. Buddha, Christ and Mohammed. Loggers, and now tourists.

Goldfish Threads – Mark Willis

Billy shook his hand free, laid the jacket across his lap, and took up the menu. Just as he’d feared it was printed all in Japanese, all except two lines scrawled in childish letters that read, “WELLCOME THE PUB AFRICA! Listen the MUSIC, Play the GAME, Feel the BEET.” He held up the menu as if to study it in a better light, scrutinizing the blocks and squiggles like a translator of hieroglyphics.
