Thank you for sharing your story about your connection with Japan. It is wonderful how our families can inspire us in so many different ways. And that 青空 is so pleasing to the eyes!
Ah. The Jet program. Easily one of the most impactful govt programs I have ever come across in any country. I’m not a Jet, but boy have a run into that word, and the alumni, soooooo many times in living here. I imagine if Japan never pursued such an initiative we would be just like the natives, all immediately gravitating to Tokyo and nowhere else.
Your assignment to Yamagata, and the comfort and familiarity it gave you (over time), was a gift in every sense of the word.
