This morning we drove to the top of Tengu yama (demon mountain). Sung Han Wu, the WWOOFer from Taiwan led us in a form of Tai Chi and we meditated for a few minutes.
At the top of the mountain there is a sign crediting Charles Weston with “discovering” it. The host Eri was telling me about him yesterday, but of course I thought she was saying “Mr Western” the whole time…
Nice! looks like his name was Walter though, not Charles … it’s funny, how many
Britons (of both genders – don’t know how to refer to females, I hope not Brita :-))
went all over the place to initiate things like mountaineering in Japan
or diving somewhere in Africa (just guessing) etc … Would be great to learn
Japanese stereotypes wrt European nations, but this is a highly non-pc issue, so
maybe not.
