the idea that. . .

a place can affect us

in a totally unexpected way.

I've always liked this idea, but Kunitachi changed everything.

I was literally in love with a city.

After camping and traveling for a month

and almost moving to Chiba

We ventured into Kichijoji

(Inokashira park!)

Anything along the chuo line

changed my perception of reality

not from simply being in a foreign country

but from a different way of life

zeitaku 

is a word that describes my feelings at that time

luxurious
in the sense that you want for nothing

artistically
