In my 20s, I moved to Japan and it's super hard to find a place to live in Kyoto. But after searching and searching, what I think is my lucky day off a back sort of urban alley, this lady agrees to rent her spot to the likes of me. It's not a modern apartment, kind of decrepit, but I'm thrilled. It's a grown up place, so I must be a grown up man having a grown up life. She warns me about the neighbor tells me he's not gonna like you, but that's okay. I'm from Detroit City. That does not faze me. Well, to say he doesn't like me doesn't capture the loathing, the contempt, the bile this old old man has for me. Several times a day I walk past the alley and I see him building, pouring his energy into this thing. And I don't know what it is. Sometimes it looks like a statue or a fountain, a totem, maybe a cage. It grows, morphs, menaces, twists. There's concrete, there's wood, feathers, like a outward manifestation of inner hatred. I try to rush by fast, don't want any trouble. But the old man has that super hearing Spidey senses his turns, eyes furious, face twisted, finger pointing at me or pointing at my companion or my groceries or my shoes or my being. Always the same one word, comment, which if you look in a dictionary, kore just means this. But in practice, quere can be the foulest curse, the most vile comment, or kindly put question, it can mean anything. But he means I am from hell and to hell he wishes me to return. Quadra. Every single day, the threat, the abuse, Even as this monstrosity grows in size, menaces rocks and tiles and faces of angry gods sheared from stolen statues. Fix his corner. I try to ignore it, I do. But this one day, I don't know why, but this one day I'm tired, coming back to my own apartment that I pay the rent for. And here he comes, indicates the whole of me and I've had it. So I point to his little swamp project Koda. He's all taken aback, so he hits me again. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not done. We're shouting back and forth, screaming the exact same thing to each other. Finally I retreat into my house so we can do it all again tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the day after that. I never see him smile to the day I'm moving out Corre in victory, like his battle is won and it has been decades, decades since I've gone back to that place. But last year, I do wander down that side street, walk through that little gap in the alley, find my door, and out of curiosity, and knock. A nice lady comes out. I tell her I used to live here a long time ago. She laughs. We talk, and she asks me a question, tentatively. Toto. If you lived here back then, she says, trying to hide a pocket of dread, maybe you can tell me about that. She gestures. She doesn't turn toward it. She almost hides from it, but I see it. Wild, overgrown, his thing reeking of madness, still burning with malice. I know for sure this man has long since left this earth, but his echo remains. Sam. Now it's 2003, and Max Dionisio is traveling to Japan. See, Max just loves the Japanese language and culture. He's actually been studying East Asian civilizations for 10 years now. But this time around, he's going to the city of Yokohama, where he plans to do some research on local history and meet up with his friend Jeff Spoot.
