thank you so much for the link, I went to read the whole thing. what a wonderful essay, and I commend your bravery. I don't know if I would have the courage to visit my mother's family in the mountains of Gunma, even though my mother is still alive and in touch with all of them. I think I would be so anxious over my Japanese, I would make myself sick. Being hāfu is so complicated. again, you've done a beautiful job evoking the in-betweenness.
