Tairaa and Sayuki and Debito
A gathering like this doesn't happen very often: Arudo Debito, the 'Michael Moore' of Japan; Sayuki, Japan's first foreigner geisha, and Yours Truly, the blue-eyed 'wakadannna' innkeeper. The three of us, in our various ways, are actively working to bridge the gaijin-nihonjin gap and share Japan's rich culture with people overseas (as well as working to open Japan up to some Western ideas). Needless to say, we had some lively discussions. Up to 2:30 in the morning. Two days straight!
亀清で珍しい集まりがありました：札幌からのArudo Debitoさん（人種差別に対する活動している）と浅草からのSayukiさん（日本発の外国人芸者）と私（青い目の若旦那）。三人ともがそれぞれの業界で日本人・欧米人のギャップを超える努力をしています。
