The quiet corners, and the thinking around them.

Places

A sketch of a geography that only exists because I wrote about it. Some of these I have walked. Some are still on a list I keep. Hover a mark, or just read the list below it.

35.0N · 135.8E A week of mornings in Higashiyama The morning was the whole trip; the rest was waiting for it. 34.0N · 135.6E The Kohechi — the route no one walks I have not walked it. I have been reading it two weeks. 45.8N · 11.9E The Brion tomb is not a tomb He was buried standing up, in a corner he built for someone else.

A mood, not a map. Three marks, two countries, one line.
