So where does Hisae fit in? She seems quite the quiet type. Does she watch you like a television show? Will she take over the blog when you're gone?

I used to be anon; after seeing you in Tokyo at the gallery-event, I think it pays to share, even if it means sticking your virtual neck out. who knows.
