“Even in Kyoto, I long for Kyoto”
Wednesday, April 16, 2025
Very nice to see this send-off of John Dougill, an influential member of the English-speaking community in Kyoto. I have a number of his books and he came to Iki for a few days while I was there. I had the privilege to tour him around the island and talk about travel writing. I learned some valuable lessons during that trip.
Here are a couple of his blog posts from Iki:
As per the Writers in Kyoto link above, John is returning to the UK for health reasons. I wish him a safe journey and better health.
