About
A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER ON WALKING, JAPAN, LITERATURE, AND PHOTOGRAPHY.
Over these last few years I’ve walked thousands of kilometers of Japanese pilgrimage paths, old roads, and historic mountain trails.
I’ve taken tens of thousands of photos.
I’ve led walks with incredible folks — talented folks, kind hearted folks — from around the world.
And slowly, through the process of walking and observing, I've developed a sense of what makes a walk work. What makes a walk great, and how walks that seem great can be made better still.
This newsletter is a distillation of these observations and collected notes, paired with a photo, and shared with you, weekly. We'll be joined by Sebald and MacFarlane and McPhee, Basho and Gellhorn, Lee and Chatwin and Shepherd and anyone else who has committed themselves to a walk.
It’ll be a little literary, a little wacky, a little scattered. But it’ll all be bound by walking — a shared love for movement, as we search for some platonic walk, an impossible walk, together.
