Comment from Kannon Hanabusa: 'Since leaving Toyooka, Hyogo Prefecture, at 18 and coming to Kyoto, I have lived in this city for a long time. I was involved in tourism as a bus guide, and since becoming a novelist at 39 with 'Hanamatsuri,' I have been writing primarily with Kyoto as the setting. Things only visible because I live here, and things visible because I am an outsider. And about aging, illness, and death that I face after heart failure. I will chronicle stories only I can tell in this newsletter. To those interested in Kyoto, those visiting for travel or work, and those tired of the constraints of social media—if you want to read useful, enjoyable, and sometimes insightful stories that aren't about blaming anyone, please give it a read.'
