Hirukawa is a small coutry village in Gifu prefecture well-known for its granite. One of the prominent landmarks in the area is a huge boulder set in the side of a mountain and covered with a distinctive red moss I was asked to write a piece for a TV program featuring the viilage. The view from the top of the rock is quite something, so I wrote a piece that begins with Japanese flavor and then moves out in a different direction.
