Heike Ghosts
Movie Reviews by David Sedaris
In 1975 I met the only descendant of the Heike Dynasty, and he unwrapped their flag and showed it to me. There was nothing in the front yard but a big plastic tricycle.
The road to his house is cut out of a perfectly vertical cliff and ten feet wide. The bus had special cameras to use in case a vehicle approached going the other way. A few did, and the negotiation of passing them was a delicate business. My second husband Chikayasu Sekine said, "Tokidoki ochiru yo." Sure they fall off sometimes.
That was terror.
