50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (October 9, 2023)
Every time I go to Japan, I feel like I’ve jumped inside a Richard Scarry book. Everything’s so dinky, with rounded edges and plastic-click buttons. There’s the man watering his miniature plants with a cute little miniature watering can. The pickup trucks are short and squat, always with three men entirely filling up the cabin, elbows outside windows for room. Buildings, rectangular and narrow, just big enough for what they needed. And the care. There are no slobs, no shortcut-takers. Duty and responsibility are part of the DNA. On a previous visit my wife left her purse on the bus, jumped into a cab and made a movie-like demand to ‘follow that vehicle!’ The driver, who could have shrugged it off or made anything but a full effort, started sweating and trembling and appeared even more anxious to retrieve the bag than my wife.
Calls below.
