STANFORD SCRAPBOOK
When I was in Kyoto studying at the Stanford Japan Center in 2002, my junior-and-senior-year roommate Kati (left) came to visit me. Heather (right) was with me in Kyoto on the same program. Here we are sightseeing at the famous Fushimi Inari shrine, with some of the 10,000 torii gates behind us. Fushimi Inari is where Inarizushi, commonly called “cone sushi” in Hawai‘i, originated — one of my favorites. (See Sakamoto > “Dad visits me in Japan” for more pictures of Fushimi Inari and my 6-month stay in Japan.) |

During my masters program at Stanford (2003–2004 school year) I lived at Scarlet Fire, a “Dead house” (all named after Grateful Dead songs) just off-campus, and had many good times with good friends. The photos on these pages represent my scrapbook of memories of those good times. Above, Audrey, me, Chris, Lyza, and Julia after a wonderful weekend at Lyza’s family’s house in Nevada City.
