Winter in Japan is crisp dry and

very cold. We’d shower together

after exercising, under jets

of stinging iciness. One tap for

all as we stand together under

a rain of stinging needles. The Guards

amused at our antics. Then a good

no-towel brisk rub down with our shirts!

We kept positive. I grew into

their language. More cloth to my bow. Our

group a hundred strong would walk daily

to the factory by the gorge with

rushing water. I got to know the

guard and we connected. We grew close.
