"My main characters are an American couple, Larry and Lily, whose names I perversely chose because of all those Ls and Rs, so vexing for the Japanese tongue. Like myself, they came to Tokyo to teach English, blissfully believing in the mythology of Asian students who are all well-mannered, eager-to-learn apple-polishers in awe of their oversized honorable instructors.The fairy tale is shattered soon enough once one teaches a class of hell-raising children who can be as challenging as they are adorable.The ideal classroom assistants would be a contingent of UN peacekeepers."

f "My comic strip also features Japanese characters. Probably my readers' favorite is the elderly matriarch of the neighboring Koyama family. 'Junko' is a traditional woman, stubbornly committed to kimono-wearing, the tea ceremony, and Japanese music, theater and literary forms such as haiku poetry.Typically she is in conflict with Japan's relentless reinvention into the pop-cultural juggernaut it has become. Nothing frustrates her more than mobile phone obsession and the texting trances it has spawned in Japan's tech zombies, who somehow still manage to navigate their maze-like urban centers.Though she has been known, paradoxically, to rant about it on a blog, she never hesitates to express distaste at what Japan is becoming."

'i "The longevity of Japan's citizens is simultaneously enviable and terrifying. With its plummeting birthrate and mostly healthful diet and lifestyle, Japan finds itself in a demographic crisis with no easy solution. Politicians have even resorted ;{ : to forming committees and think tanks to strategize ways of convincing more young people to marry and procreate, a sort of bureaucratic Cupid with a hint of Big Brother thrown in for good measure. Meanwhile, younger generations are facing a Sisyphean future pushing grandma and grandpa up a demographic chart line steeper than the slopes of Mount Fuji." ; I ' : i

"The Japanese language is notoriously challenging: three alphabets (four, if you include the much-used Roman characters); bewildering polite forms that change according to your gender or who you're communicating with; regional dialects; and trivialities of syntax, such as word endings for counting objects that depend on their sizes and shapes. Some of the quirks are delightful, such as discovering onomatopoeic distinctions in the sounds animals make. Did you know that Japanese dogs utter, 'wan-wan'; pigs, 'buu-buu'; and roosters, 'kokekokko'? Frustration rears its head when the newbie expat encounters pets that understand their masters' Japanese commands better than they do, or reads a news item about a parakeet that was able to recite its Tokyo address, including its zip code, and find its way home less ruffled than the average 'gaijin.' Once, at an upscale Tokyo supermarket, I found a surprisingly inexpensive can of 'Tuna Flake,' those being the only readable words on the tin.The sandwich I made from it had a distinctive flavor. My Japanese neighbor later explained I had eaten cat food."

"A hot-button issue in Asia is the insistence of many Japanese leaders to pay respects to Japan's war dead at Yasukuni Shrine inTokyo. Such visits wouldn't be controversial were it not for the World War II war criminals interred there.The infuriation of Japan's neighbors over these ceremonial remembrances (not to mention the perception that Japan has yet to properly apologize for wartime aggressions) has stymied progress in improving relations and achieving regional political and economic stability—much to the chagrin of Japan's Western allies. Justin Bieber's ill-advised but innocently impulsive visit to the shrine is noteworthy in that he demonstrated better political acumen than Japan's leaders with his surprisingly articulate mea culpa."

"Of all the instabilities one experiences in Japan, tectonic ones rank right up there alongside coping with tax authorities in a language not your own and finding shoes that fit. Just as Eskimos need an extensive lexicon to describe the nuances of snow, and Washingtonians have lingo for cloud variations, the Japanese need specialized vocabulary for evaluating earthquake intensities. The locals are so accustomed to shaking that they barely miss a beat as they stick to their tasks at hand whilst diving under their office desks for cover. There is a legend that a giant catfish resides under the islands of Japan and causes earthquakes when the god who restrains him lets down his guard.

"Train stations in Japan are marvels of efficiency. While some would find this transmission of humanity akin either to the dystopian vision of Fritz Lang's Metropolis or to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, I always exulted in the victory of becoming a smoothly functioning cog in the conveyor belt of commuters. But then there is Shinjuku Station, the largest in Tokyo and busiest in the world, an M.C. Escheresque brainteaser that even the cleverest laboratory rat would have trouble finding the cheese in."

"Speaking of trains, I'm not sure how much of my time in Tokyo was spent in trains, but it probably ranks up there with sleep and viewing inane Japanese TV game shows. As a result, I reckoned that one needs to come up with creative ways to pass train time, since the likelihood of nabbing a seat for napping on an express commute is equivalent to one's chances of getting invited to the palace for an imperial brunch. What better place for a game of bingo? In an average Tokyo commute, one can expect the usual manga-reading salarymen and drooling sleeper, but what exhilaration to discover that seventh bridal advert hanging from the carriage ceiling and the cry of 'Bingo!' it brings!"

26 arches spring 2015 When it came time to pick a college, Denise decided to stay close to home. Womens soccer was still a nascent sport at Puget Sound, having only made its debut in the late ’70s. Denise remembers her first coach fondly. He was Gary Vandergrift, a guy pulled from campus bookstore ranks after school officials learned he had been a soccer referee, even if he’d never actually played the game. “College sports for women was pretty new, and women’s soccer was even newer,” Vander­ grift says. “It wasn’t the highest priority for the university. It was more an appeasement to the system [Title IX requirements]. But it was a nod to this growing movement.” Vandergrift coached Denise for two years. Her third year was coached by a Tacoma third- grade teacher who, alas, had no soccer experi­ ence. It was then that Denise asked the univer­ sity athletic department to allow her to assist in selecting the coach who would complete her and her friends’ college soccer career. Mike Jennings was recruited and would lead Puget Sound women’s soccer into a new era. At Puget Sound, Denise was a four-year letter winner, a three-year team captain, and a three-year Alice Bond Award nominee. Denise returned to campus in February for this photo.

The cover that didn't make it When we asked Roger Dahl 75 if he'd consider drawing the cover for this issue we were thrilled that he said, "Sure. Love to." Like any good artist he tried several ideas, and this sketch was in the running. Roger's intention here was to parody the Paul Bunyan mural in the SUB by irreverently depicting the great axeman clear-cutting the campus. In the end we couldn't resist President Thomas chasing a dog that appears bent on burying that ancient symbol of campus high jinks, The Hatchet. (Hey, you grads of the 70s, can you name the dog?) Still, we got a smile out of this and thought you might, too.
