You are a jewel, Katsu-san. And your family is very beautiful. That trip you documented was wonderful, and similar to my dream of visiting Japan. I have spent many years studying the work of John Yoshio Naka and other bonsai artists, and practicing the art of Bonsai. And the Samurai and architecture hold, for me, a similar appeal to my heart. There is such a treasure of history and culture in your country. If I could visit only one place in the entire world, I would choose Japan. I would be willing to sit at the doorstep of a traditional blade smith every day from the beginning of a sword to it's end and not feel like I wasted a moment of my life. I would love to visit the old temples if I could and see wooden structures that have lasted 1000 years, built with no nails or bolts, or wander thrue some of the historic water gardens and stare at the Koi and the blossoms... Thank-you, Katsu-san, for sharing your life with us. It is always a treat.
