In Tokyo I attended a small party as a guest of group analysts, Hidefumi Kotani and colleagues. It was a very lovely. We spent two pleasant hours talking, asking questions, discussing. We also shared a bottle of pink Moët and small cake to celebrate the recent wedding of one of their members. Knowing I love Haiku - I sent them one by my favourite Haiku poet, Basho, at the time of the Great Eastern Earthquake, 11/3/11, a famous one about the impermanence of life but eternal flowering of the cherry blossom - one of the colleagues, at the end of the evening made this haiku:
Drinking with champagne
My heart is the same colour
We enjoyed evening talking.
After they showed me around their institute which is really a large five bedroom town house they all walked me to the train station. Now I have more new friends in Japan. Their spirit will accompany me as I travel further north to Akita.
