Geisha.6

Well, I couldn’t stay away from the Mac, and ended up finishing the new GEISHA tonight. To view issue 6, click on the new icon in the Geisha box to the right. Enjoy.

And now for news of the next issue. I’ve decided to ask friends to contribute one page each, making it a guest issue. The only common thread I’m looking for is for them to say something about Japan, so I’m hoping to get an eclectic collection of views on the place I call home. Also, since I don’t have to do much work (I’ll just do the cover, index, and intro pages) I’m hoping it’ll be up in a month.

Patrick already sent me his contribution, and it’s a great one. He takes a look at something that’s been fascinating him lately.

Hi Jean, I found your site just recently by mention from other Japan blogs. Can I be your friend, too? :)

Jeeze, everybody wants to be my friend now ;-)

It was fun looking through the pics on your site. Your Japan experience must be quite different from mine, what with you living in Kyushu and all.
