I was invited to Festivin in Ebisu on Sunday. Japan is often so closed, distant and defensive. This, though, was an open, festive atmosphere, almost like a Mardi Gras party for organic food and drink. Wine can be serious, yes, but it must also be simple, understandable and fun. Before the rising sun sets, perhaps the youth will have understood. In any case, natural themes strike a deep chord in this country, especially since the earthquake last year. Comments
