What The Kyoto Connection is

You board a plane in Seattle and step into Kyoto’s neon haze. An easy smile steers you to a walk-up where you wait on the floor, wrists cuffed to a pipe. The man keeps flipping pages of a dog-eared manual between bouts of silence. Outside, a festival drum pulses like a heartbeat you can’t join.
