Do I Remind You of Him?
Last November, I talked about watching the morning NHK drama, “The Ghost Writer’s Wife.” It is called “Bakebake” in Japanese. We watch it every morning, and if we miss it, we can watch it at lunchtime or online at NHK One. The other day, when my wife and I were talking to a Japanese couple, the husband said that I reminded him of Lafcadio Hearn. I hadn’t thought about that, but I can understand why he said it. The actor has a mustache and blue eyes, and so do I. Hearn was married to a Japanese woman, and I am, too. Hearn wrote about Japan, and so do I. There is one big difference, however. Hearn was a professional writer who wrote several best-selling books. I am an English teacher and write essays in easy English.
