Title: Strange Weather in Tokyo
Author: KAWAKAMI HIROMI

Tsukiko is in her late 30s and living alone when one night she happens to her former high school teacher, ‘Sensei’, in a bar. He is at least thirty years her senior, retired and, she presumes, a widower.

After this initial encounter, the pair continue to meet occasionally to share food and drink sake, and as the seasons pass – from spring cherry blossom to autumnal mushrooms – Tsukiko and Sensei come to develop a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love.

Strange Weather in Tokyo is perfectly constructed, warmly funny and deeply moving.
