That's me after my talk at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on Monday. 30-40 people came, an interesting mix of journalists and my parents' friends and some others. I think it went well! I talked about the challenges of writing about Japan for a US audience. I didn't eat the chicken-and-avocado dinner that was served to me before the talk because I didn't want to be bloated while I talked.

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!
