Blog : Asakusa Underground News, Asakusa Underground News in Japanese
Websites : Soul Surfing, a cool surfing novel unfortunately in Japanese.
My personal history:
I learned my English in South Africa, my Spanish in Mexico and my French in New Caledonia. I have seen a South Africa under Apartheid, a Mexico with Zapatista, and a Sri Lanka with Tamil Tiger. I danced at Sari Club, Bali before bombing.
In Mexico, I played in a film with Diego Luna, a Latino heart-throb, before his puberty.
Now I am living in French Riviera and working on a French adaptation of a Noh play written by Ikkyu, a Japanese Zen monk.
Thanks a lot for visiting our trans-cultural travel guide.
Shinsuke and I are second cousins.
Personally, I have some objectives concerning Asakusa Underground.
1, introducing small and ignored businesses to the world.
2, promoting Japanese literature.
3, informing many ecological ideas.
4, giving alternative interpretations of Japanese culture.
5, making you laugh.
If you have had a good laugh, we are honoured.
