I have. Thinking about picking up a copy at the local Japanese bookstore (in Japanese since I am practicing reading) today actually.

Hi Doug, have you ever seen this? I’d love to have a read one day:

No problem. I thought you might enjoy it, and I thought it was a good contrast.

I do some very limited writing in online journals and magazines, but I am not a scholar, so it would not be worth submitting to something like that, and the topic is probably a bit narrow for some readers. Instead, I prefer keeping these things accessible on the blog because it’s easy for Google searches to find them, so that people can find such information easily.

I have the same feeling too: I visit famous places in EU and Japan and realize too late how significant it was. Oh well. There’s still time to visit again.

Many thanks for dedicating this good read to me!
It is such a good read, I hope that you, apart from blogging it, will send it to magazines of with a Japanese focus or theme.
I have been visiting a burial mound in Seoul. It was of a princess. Now, after your post, I believe I should have asked in more detail about her role in history.
