This makes me think you can never feel safe, even in your own home. Earlier today, 41-year old Michiyo Takeda was injured when a large rock smashed through her roof and into her kitchen.
When you look at the picture, it's kinda crazy how close to this cliff the house is. Apparently, in Wakayama Prefecture, houses are built along the cliff (which lines the shoreline) pretty often.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
