Item Description
“You’re still here?” teases the local greengrocer. “Aren’t you scared of Japan now?” It’s a refrain I hear often as I make my daily rounds in my neighborhood—from people on the street, cashiers at the supermarket, even the guy who runs the local soba-noodle shop. The tone is never accusatory, always teasing, but comes with a hint of shock. A foreigner, still here after all of this? Yet it’s more than simple surprise.
