Embarrassed. PM Takaichi asked in the Diet what would Japan do if there was a war over Taiwan. Gave a diplomatically sterile answer. Consul general Xue Jian, in Osaka, pops off like a barbarian. He should have 2 choices: Full retraction on NHK, or persona non grata.

I got an 'A', with the teacher mentioning that it was probably a good thing I ran to nearly 40 pages, as while the writing was good, the report seemed a bit "illustration heavy". 😲🤪 (I liked Scarlet Ibises.)

Still inside my room. Yesterday’s storm really improved the snow pack. I saw it from Tokyo Wednesday, and it was looking a bit tawdry. Still not what it will be in another few weeks, but shaping up nicely .
