Dispatches from Mythology

If you haven't already, check out my friend George's blog, Drowned by Kappa. George is spending a year (or two) in Kochi City, on the island Shikoku in Japan. The blog is replete with excellent photographs and words like "Prefecture."

Besides George, Kochi City is (was) also home to the legendary Sakamoto Ryoma, one of the samurai who embraced Western influence and carried a sword AND a pistol (his nickname was "Quentin Tarantino's Wet Dream").
