Heeellooooo, this is Froggie, or Kodaiko, 1 year and 8 (8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 4) + 5 days old. Another fruity day. I went to UC Berkeley with Naomi (my advisor), Pauline (Samwise’s [MInister of Foregin Affair of Punk Kingdom] mom), and Grandmah. Our main purpose was to attend a lecture on Japanese historical maps. But it was truly refreshing to go visit another town –Grandma and Naomi got so excited about being in "the city" because they feel slightly depressed with Stanford’s "boring" environment. Keekeekee. The lecture was also punk. It’s quite interesting to see those digitalized historical maps. With this technology, I would like to investigate the historical transition of fruits stores in early modern Japan. While seeing the old Tokyo maps, I felt so nosltalgic and missed our old house in Tokyo. Asakusa, Imperial Palace area, Shinobazu-no-ike… that’s where I grew up.

After the lecture, we had a punk get-togeter at some cool cafe with Orna at Berkeley, who is studying about modern Japanese literature. Actually, I was so interested in her talk and concept of tourism/tourists in modern literature. Hmm, as a Chief Fruits Officer, I should also write a travel journal introducing various local fruits. Fruits in your city, fruits in your heart. FG’s Fruits.

Fruitfully yours,
