Yesterday i received some rather unusual post. An A4 envelope greeted me when i got home, with air mail stickers and clubjapan.jp stamped on it. It was definitely addressed to me so what could it be?
It was none other than a copy of the Hir@gana Times. “Japan here and now”. A tourist magazine of sorts.
The odd thing is we went to Japan in September 2006 so I have no idea why I should now suddenly be receiving this.
It has some fascinating articles in it. Most notably the three below. Japan’s “suicide crisis”, a comic revealing the reason some women wear masks when they’re not ill and a great article on how Origami can be used to help communicate with others.
Considering i have no real idea why I’ve been sent it or why it was ever created i feel quite privileged to have been sent a copy all the way from Japan. I look forward to my next thrilling installment from Hir@gana Times!
