Sjómannadagurinn Reeled Me in Like the Pisces I Am

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. No, you're not hallucinating. Yes, this is a new Earthshine transmission, the first one in … 13 months. Coincidentally, this is issue 13, which I happen to be writing at 13 hours. You're not superstitious, are you? Look, it'

What the Hello Was That?!

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. If you've been following this newsletter, you may remember that six months ago, I introduced a transmission with the following statement: The previous issue diverged slightly from the structure I've been employing, and I feel Earthshine should continue this

Sakura-Bathing in Showa Kinen Park

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. Spring is in the air. Yes, even here, in two-season Iceland. Iceland. I live there, which means I don't live elsewhere, which means I'll miss my dear cherries (blossoms) for the second year in a row. Sniff-sniff!

I Wouldn't Mind Being a Bird in Yufuin

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. I'm amazed that this newsletter is in its tenth issue. On the other hand, I'm saddened that only 10 out of the 100+ walks I have in my (evergrowing) archive have seen the light of day. I often wonder

The Great Wall of Ardent Self-Promotion

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. Every time I sit down to decide which walk to feature next, I flail like a washed-up fish. Most of the time, I fancy something from my Japan pool, and that means confronting a lot of good contenders. Ideally, I'd

An Elusive Encounter at the Port of Hafnarfjörður

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. I'm feeling for a change of pace. The previous issue diverged slightly from the structure I've been employing, and I feel Earthshine should continue this trend of expanding its variety whenever the material asks for it. This way, it&

Echoes of an Edo-Era Logging Frenzy

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. I'm among the fortunate ones who have felt the almighty embrace of Ghibli films. For those unaware, Studio Ghibli is an acclaimed Japanese animation studio. Dare I say the most significant of its time? Yes. You see, this studio alone has

The Literal Personification of Iceland

Earthshine reader — It's me, Dazé. I'm not a nationalist. Having said that, one must not forget their roots. Mine can be traced to a small island up in the North Atlantic called Iceland. They say the name got mixed up with its neighbouring country Greenland — just
