On this site, among other things, I provide:
- High-quality photos of Japan
- Translations of classical Japanese haiku as well as other Japanese poetry
- Interpretations and commentary
All free.
This isn’t going to change. It seems to be a trend on the internet to lock some things behind a paywall and only allow members access. I don’t want to do that. I believe in the original promise of the internet: free access to information for everyone. That idea still means something to me.
But running this site isn’t free. I invest my own money in photography gear, in sourcing rare and often expensive Japanese books, and in hosting and maintaining this website. It adds up.
I’m not begging for money — but if you’ve found value in what I do and would like to support it, I’ve made a few donation options available below.
Thank you. Your support truly helps make this possible. You rock!
