Peaceful: a beautiful place for a walk
"Chura" is an Okinawa word meaning "beautiful"--beautiful environment, beautiful souls, that kind of beauty. This weblog is my attempt to communicate the beauty of life in Japan... Wait... Make that the beauty of life anywhere. Be it weblog, a short story, fiction or non-fiction, that is what I believe good writing should do. So. Here we go. Let the blogging begin! [Updated bi-weekly. If you check in once a week, you'll always see something new]

自己紹介
- Chura
- Born and raised in the USA (NJ), I’ve spent most of my adult life in Japan. One of my favorite places in Japan is Okinawa. To me, Okinawa is a land of stories and an island of music, magic and mystery. The music is shima-uta, songs sung to the rhythm of a three-stringed lute called a sanshin. The magic is in the colors of land, sea and sky. The mystery? Mystery begins where the line between legend and verifiable human memories begins to blur. I am a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, chapter chief of a sanshin study society, and a founding member of the Marine Culture Research Association of Okinawa.
