I can make no claim to be an expert in things Japanese. One reason for this may be that I am a historian of the Cold War and
Japan was very fortunate to have had a very low profile in that longstanding conflict. Nevertheless, I am exceedingly grateful
that I was able to visit the charming city of Fukuoka in July of 1998. At the holy site of Shofukuji where Buddhism first entered
Japan; I had the opportunity to walk on holy ground. Never before have I felt the level of tranquility and peace that I did when I
visited and reflected on life at this most sacred of sites. I take this site with me forever.
My visit to Shofukuji was especially important to me. I
had an awesome sensation that I was soaking up
spiritual energy. Never before had I set foot in a place
with such incredible spiritual energy; one could truly
feel it. I hope to return some day.

Below, to be an observer at the height of the Hakata
Yamakasa festival in Fukuoka, walking alone, is a great
privilege for a foreign visitor. One gets the impression
that one is learning at a at an unprecedented rate of
sensory induction. I look forward to another visit to
Shofukuji before I die.
I saw the Hakata Yamakasa festival as a gift from God. I went
there by coincidence, to renew a work visa for South Korea
where I was teaching. As a historian of the politics of gender
roles, the sight of many tens of thousands of males, from 1 to
100 years old, dressed in the traditional attire of warriors, running
through the streets screaming "OSAI, OSAI," was simply
incredible. Never have I seen such a dynamic city. I learned that
it is here in Fukuoka where the Mongol invaders were repelled by
the Kamakazi winds in the 13th century; the spirits are all around
you, especially during Yamakasa. I became acquainted with a
Japanese people that are at once serene, like Shofukuji, and full of
powerful wind forces that give them unparalled levels of
productive and creative energy. I admire the Japanese, and would
feel deeply honored to have more Japanese clients so as to
become more familiar with Japanese perspectives and issues.
I am an editor and ghostwriter for the Japanese. I edit books, dissertations, applications, cover letters, resumes, term papers, autobiographies,
speeches, visa materials, web sites, and business and personal communications. And I put everything into perfect English at a most reasonable price.
