I was featured in Gendaishi Techo once. A Japanese academic, Professor Fukuma Kenji came to "make interview" with me and his wife Keiko brought me a gift of the loveliest piece of woven silk I have ever seen.
He had been particularly moved by a poem I had written about an ash crook and asked if I would show it to him. He ran his fingers delicately over the sheep-teethmarks that I had described and handed it back with a kind of quiet reverence.
After they left, I held the silk against my cheek and wondered what would have happened if I had had to confess to having made the whole thing up.
