Profile: Close your eyes. Visualize a cherry blossom in bloom. A glass of sake on a low table. Rooms divided by wood-framed paper screens. A table holding an unfurled scroll of rice paper, ink block, and calligraphy brush. Although I haven't yet traveled to the island of Japan, I am often transported by its cultural imagery and the power of its history. My dad traveled there often for work through the years, and always came home with rich stories.
Alongside these visuals is one that emerges often in my dreams: a temple in the evening surrounded by glowing lanterns hanging in long rows by the thousands. They are constructed of paper and bamboo ribs — all aglow against the dark of night, representing the spirits of those who have come before us.
