About the book

Japan is over there - it's just a matter of going. Pack your bags and throw yourself into the crazy world of outlaw poet, Kizer Ohno. This is a raw and uncensored day-to-day account, taken directly from Kizer's notebook, about his first 2 week adventure in Japan Land.

"When I initially planned my trip to Tokyo, a feeling like there was something for me there, pervaded my soul. There was something there for me but I didn't take it with me. I left a piece of myself in Japan...without a doubt, I'm returning to go get it back."

This unique notebook novella was originally written in 2004-2005 and first published online.
