The Kamikaze (Japanese term for divine winds) have protected Japan and its unique culture from foreign invasions and imperialization since the beginning of time. The roots of this blog were of an idle mind which took place my final year in Japan, 2006-2007. I still continue this blog eventhough its roots came from my day-to-day experiences in Japan.

Japanese Woodblock Prints- Vol. 2: Fuji-san and The Search
The snow-capped icon is in the distance. It is in search of the sun. Two fishermen shove off in search of today's catch. Waves meet the fishermen in search of the shore. Animals scavenge the shoreline in search of food.
These days, everyone is in search of something. Scientist and doctors are in search of a cure. Nomads are in search of a home. Beggars are in search of food. The unemployed are in search of a job. The passionate are in search of meaning. The unfulfilled are in search of being made whole. Preachers are in search of a pulpit.
While doing your search, it is important to never loose sight of the "romance" while knowing that there is a downside. Often, many will see one but not the other. We need to see both.
An ounce of optimism is worth its weight in gold. What didn't work for one fits like a glove for an other.
We can choose our lovers and friends, but have no say in family.
Remember, while searching, just say to yourself, "yes" before you decide.
