Last night I had an enjoyable evening with Prof Shinsuke Ina and his two colleagues- Isanori Oha and Naoki Nishigushi, who are currently working together on the book translation. They treated me to a delicious meal (as well as several bottles of Kirin Beer!)
My Tokyo visit is also now taking shape. I have booked 3 nights in a hotel in Shinjuku and meet with writer and curator Hirofumi Sakamoto on Monday. Tuesday evening I will meet musician Christophe Charles and we will visit the home of video artists Sei Kazama and Hatsune Ohtsu.
