No, this is not my latest take on being an ex-pat in Japan, nor any modern insight in culture clash trends for 2011.  Rather, as I looked with fresh eyes at Itajime paper, I could not help but notice similarities to Rorshach tests.   Is it just me?  Or is it a self-fulfilling diagnosis?  What do you see?

The paper of the month, perhaps?
