Tsukiko is in her late 30s and living alone when one night she
happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, '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. Perfectly constructed,
funny, and moving, Strange Weather in Tokyo is a tale of modern
Japan and old-fashioned romance. This edition contains the bonus
story, 'Parade', which imagines an ordinary day in the lives of
this unusual couple.
