Our interviewees all seem to have found a place to call “home.”

For Fukuko Kobayashi, an English literary scholar, it was through Asian female writers and gender critical studies.
For Linda, the daughter of refugee parents, it was in her journey to Ireland.
And for Kayoko and Yuki Tomobe, it was when they opened their small and cozy Wall and the Egg Café.

Whether it’s your family, your roots, your education, or your coffee shop, their stories remind us that home can be found anywhere.

This volume also features a gender dystopian sci-fi story by Li Kotomi, Female Degeneracy; a portrait series by Okinawan-American photographer Tori Toguchi exploring Nikkei (people of Japanese descent) identities; and an essay by Tokyo-based British writer William Andrews reflecting on his encounter with Kurdish workers in Tokyo.
