Images and fantasies of everyday life

Stories, poems, photographs, and drawings that capture an experience of life from Ozasa, Fukuoka, Japan. We encounter bees, spiders, ants, children, slippers, workers, a Shinto priest, an ancient emperor, and several monsters. Gentle, loving observations from the margins of a community.

I had a detached retina!

Summer, 2006. A sudden stay in the hospital. Three surgeries under general anaesthetic. Complications arising from my condition, and a fourth surgery after that. This is my detached retina diary, told in essays and drawings. It is a greedily bilingual book!
