The Japan Times (Child’s Play Column)
For nearly a decade, I wrote various columns and stand-alone features for the Japan Times newspaper. At first, it was mostly about music: album reviews, upcoming concert previews, artist interviews, that kind of thing. Then I wrote about the city’s vibrant contemporary art and gallery scene, then after a few years I asked them if I could start a regular column on things to do in Japan with kids, and they agreed! I’ve been co-writing the Child’s Play article with my friend Danielle Demetriou, who has two kids of her own.
