Karuizawa is one of my favorite places to go in the fall. Just wish I could afford to have a villa there.

What's with the Japanese and demons? I was raised to despise them not embrace them... I don't know...

So does the evil connotation of "demon" not translate to the modern "oni"? I don't get it.
