Let’s take a moment to reflect on October.
To a certain extent I felt sorry for Japan.
From Arashi to the Japanese Society to lovely lovely tonkatsu, it had a lot of expectations to live up to.
A quote from my Lonely Planet Japan guidebook:
“Far from romancing women, most samurai shunned them on the grounds that sexual relations with women (who were yin/in) weakened their maleness (yang/you), and as a result most samurai were homosexual or, in many cases, bisexual.”
