Kyoto concert was a great successs and we're leaving for Nagoya today. The blossom is still on the trees and the sun shining.

For such a busy place everything is remarkably calm and seems to work like a finely oiled machine. The Japanese are kind polite and very enthusiastic about the music and our Theremin player Koichi Makigami is a spectacle the likes of which I have never seen - a feast for the eyes as well as the ears!

Japan is a real experience and here, hot Sake has taken the place of Underberg wherever possible. I might try hot Underberg when I get home just to see if it works!
